Srila
Jayadeva Goswami Prabhu's
writings.
The
revelations:
"Srimati Radharani's position is first and foremost. Sri
Jayadeva Goswami has written that Krishna wants the feet-dust
of Srimati Radharani (dehi pada pallavam udaram, Gita-Govinda).
However, ordinary people cannot understand this. Only the followers
of Sri Chaitanya Mahaprabhu, by His grace, can understand anything
of the substance of Radha-dasyam, the servitude of Srimati
Radharani. So Radha-dasyam is the highest aspiration
of the Gaudiya Vaisnava."
 — Srila Bhakti Raksak Sridhar Dev-Goswami Maharaj
(Sermons of the Guardian of Devotion Volume I)
The
caution:
"One of his famous books is Gita-Govinda, which
is full of transcendental mellow feelings of separation from
Krishna. ...
"Sri Bhaktisiddhanta Saraswati Thakura comments in this
connection that such feelings of separation as Lord Chaitanya
Mahaprabhu enjoyed from the books of Vidyapati, Chandidasa and
Jayadeva are especially reserved for persons like Sri Ramananda
Raya and Svarupa Damodara, who were paramahamsas, men
of the topmost perfection, because of their advanced spiritual
consciousness. Such topics are not to be discussed by ordinary
persons imitating the activities of Lord Chaitanya Mahaprabhu."
— Srila Bhaktivedanta Swami Maharaj Prabhupada
(Sri Chaitanya-charitamrita purport.)

Without
saranagati, all the formal practices will lose their life:
"According to the degree of our self-abnegation in self-surrender
we will be benefitted, and the specific characteristics of santa-,
dasya-, sakhya-, vatsalya-, or madhura-rasa
will develop, and there are also subdivisions within these rasas.
In this way, the devotee will be properly located. But without
saranagati, all the formal practices will lose their life
and will become something other than bhakti, either in
the plane of exploitation or the plane of renunciation; but the
plane of dedication is the land of devotion."

Connection
with the higher, noble substance:
"Not only self-abnegation, but self-surrender is necessary to
approach God. Deep self-surrender will take us into connection
with the higher, noble substance, and it must be cultivated
by all means."
