Fragment from class in Hungary January 2016 (the whole class here: • Teaching of Ancient In... ). Excerpt:
“When we chant Hare Krishna, we are chanting: Oh, my Lord, please let me be an instrument of your love.”
“We are all looking for love. We don’t exactly know what that means, but it has something to do with something very very very very very very nice. You want to love somebody, and you also want to be loved. [-] That primal emotion becomes the rasa science. The rasa science is the sum and substance of bhakti yoga. The rasa science can be translated the science of tastes, but that translation doesn’t hit it on the head. [-] There is one tasty, liquid emotion. That is called adi-rasa. Adi-rasa is when the liquids of the body are secreted which are produced at the sexual orgasm. They are the producing agency of life. [-] Emotional rasa refers to a peak experience. But the orgasm is a peak experience which is of a very ephemeral nature - it only lasts some seconds. [-] But when we’re talking of the rasic peak experience of emotion, we are leaving this sexual sensation far far far far far far far far behind us. The rasa science teaches us that there is something like a continuous orgasm. And that is called the love emotion. This love emotion is so tasty, so sweet, that it is not only continuous, it is always increasing. Can you imagine what kind of peak experience I am talking about? It is called prapanna-jivanamrita. Iit is called the ever-increasing taste of love. It is called also, with another explanation, the permanent, positive, and progressive immortality.”
“Listen, If you want to get the best, then get rid of the rest.”

Gaudiya Vaishnavism (from Wikipedia):
Gaudiya Vaishnavism was preceded by the Advaita Vedanta spiritual movement, popularized by Adi Shankara (788-820) in India in the 8th century, and which espoused Turiya and the Fourth Dimension.
The Gaudiya Vaishnavism is interested in turiya-titah gopala. This is the Fifth Dimension, in which one comes face to face with Gopala Krishna in Braj (Vraja Dhama), from adhoksaja to aprakrta, or from God consciousness (Advaita Vedanta) to Krishna consciousness (Gaudiya Vaishnavism). The Turiya-Titah state of consciousness is also known as madhurya, or Krishna Caitanya.
Gaudiya Vaishnavism concludes that Love is greater than ourselves, and it is the greatest aspect of God, one that he himself is motivated by. For them, the nondual consciousness of Vedanta philosophy is realized when we know that we do not belong to ourselves, what to speak of anything belonging to us.
Turiya-titah is the experience of the ultimate reality, known as the Fifth Dimension:
"If there is any time at which we can accurately say that something belongs to us, it is when, having given ourselves in love to God, we can say that 'God is ours'. This is the Krishna conception of Godhead, one in which God appears not as God, nor finite souls as finite souls. Both interrelate intimately as Lover and Beloved, Krishna and his Gopis (Radha is his primary gopi), beyond any sense of each others' ontological reality, yet beyond the material illusion as well. This dimension of Love of Godhead is thus justifiably termed by the Gaudiya Vaisnavas as the Fifth Dimension, turiya-titah, the dimension of the soul's Soul."
