Jayapatākā Swami: She is showing us that love in separation is actually greater, and that is something we can do. In fact, if we are not feeling separation from Kṛṣṇa, His devotees, then we are missing the real point. And by serving in separation, we can be constantly united with Kṛṣṇa and His devotees. Sometimes, in the association with the guru, one might be distracted to think about his body or eating, but in separation of the guru, that person may be very focused and so sometimes serving in separation is more effective. So we have this opportunity to feel great separation from guru and Kṛṣṇa and Lord Caitanya taught that we should serve in separation.
