Book excerpt: The highest conception of the ultimate reality must also be the highest form of ānanda, ecstasy. Śrī Chaitanya Mahāprabhu is Kṛṣṇa, ecstasy Himself, tasting His own sweetness and dancing in ecstatic joy. His own Holy Name is the cause of His ecstasy, expressed as dancing, and the Holy Name is the effect of His ecstasy, expressed as chanting and singing. The cause is the effect. The dynamo is creating ecstatic energy which makes Him dance, and His chanting and singing distributes that ecstasy to others.This is the all-conquering conclusion.
