7.1 Without spiritual practice one does not attain Radha's love

Caitanya Caritamrita 2.8.

Śrī Caitanya said:

'sādhya-vastu' 'sādhana' vinu keha nāhi pāya
kṛpā kari' kaha, rāya, pābāra upāya 197

rāya kahe, - yei kahāo, sei kahi vāṇī
ki kahiye bhāla-manda, kichui nā jāni 198
tribhuvana-madhye aiche haya haya kon dhīra
ye tomāra māyā-nāṭe ha-ibeka sthira 199
mora mukhe vaktā tumi, tumi hao śrotā
atyanta rahasya, śuna, sādhanera kathā 200

The goal of life cannot be attained without spiritual practice -sādhya-vastu nāhi pāya vinu sādhana
Rāya have mercy and explain to me the means by which I can attain (the goal of life) - rāya kṛpā kari' kaha pābāra upāya 197

Rāmānanda Rāya retorts: whatever you make me say, that message I utter. - rāya kahe yei kahāo sei vāṇī kahi
I don't even know whether what I say is right or wrong. - kichui nā jāni ki kahiye bhāla-manda 198

Who in the three worlds is a sage? - kon tri-bhuvana-madhye haya dhīra
Who will remain undisturbed while utilizing your illusory energy? - ha-ibeka ye sthira aiche tomāra nāṭe māyā

You are the one who speaks through my mouth and you are the one who listens. - tumi vaktā mora mukhe tumi hao śrotā
Listen to the narration about spiritual practice, which is particularly confidential. - śuna kathā sādhanera atyanta rahasya

rādhā-kṛṣṇera līlā ei ati gūḍhatara
dāsya-vātsalyādi-bhāve nā haya gocara 201
sabe eka sakhī-gaṇera ihāń adhikāra
sakhī haite haya ei līlāāra vistāra 202

Rādhā-Kṛṣṇa's pastimes are particularly confidential. - rādhā-kṛṣṇera līlā ei ati gūḍhatara
(Those who appreciate) divine love in servitude, as a parent, etc. (i.e. partly also friendly love), - bhāve dāsya vātsalya-ādi
cannot appreciate these  pastimes (of the divine couple Rādhā-Kṛṣṇa). - nā haya gocara

Only and only the group of friends (Radāṇra) has this qualification. - sabe eka gaṇera sakhī ihāń adhikāra
It is the friends (of Radha) who make these pastimes grow and multiply. - sakhī haite haya haya ei līlāra vistāra
