Sua Bhakti não é Rāga-bhakti

In Kṛṣṇa-loka there are two places. One is the majestic Goloka, where Rādhā-Kṛṣṇa is reverentially worshiped and the other is the sweet Gokula or Vṛndāvana, destiny of the Rāga-bhaktas.

"Viśvanātha Cakravartī states that those who wish to realize the sweetness of Rādhā-Kṛṣṇa but practice ritualistic Bhakti cannot attain Rādhā-Kṛṣṇa in Vṛndāvana because their Bhakti is not Rāga-bhakti, and they cannot attain Kṛṣṇa in Dvārakā because they do not desire to do so. Therefore they attain Rādhā-Kṛṣṇa in Goloka, the majestic manifestation of Vṛndāvana. According Bhakti-rasāmṛta-sindhu - Sādhana-bhakti-laharī - 1.2.303 Ṭīkā."
