is always conceived as a boy, quite a young boy. <st1:place>Krishna</st1:place>
and Radha typify the love of a young boy and a young girl. The conception is to
take love at its first flowering, at its earliest and purest expression. Later
on with age and youth advancing, it becomes passion, dark and turbid: it grows
in force and amplitude, in its own way, but soon it becomes a wild fury to end
usually in a catastrophe. The Vaishnava poet says: when childhood and youth
meet and unite<sup>2</sup>, then there is born the true love, love Divine. The Vaishnava
discipline is to keep and maintain love at this stage and mode; for early youth
is the best time and age (vaya kaisorakam vayam). Love Krishna the
boy, Jet your heart's yearning be moulded in the crystal clear limpid stream
welling out of the pure spring of a new-born heart – that is the way of
purifying the vital urge, keeping it ever pure.</p>

Tantric is a hero, he does not avoid or bypass the difficulty, he faces the
vital urge but not in his own strength, his own individual capacity but invokes
the Mother's help; he calls the Mother; the Divine Prakriti into himself so
that she fights the battle for him; he simply lies quiet behind, perhaps like
the Lord Shiva at her feet. The battle is fought by the Divine herself, the
victory he enjoys – even like the victory of the gods given to them by the
Divine U ma.</p>
