TRANSLATION

Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu asked, "Of all kinds of distress, what is the most painful?"

Śrī Rāmānanda Rāya replied, "Apart from separation from the devotee of Kṛṣṇa, I know of no unbearable unhappiness."

PURPORT

Concerning this, the Lord states in the Vedic literature:

mām anārādhya duḥkhārtaḥ

kuṭumbāsakta-mānasaḥ

sat-saṅga-rahito martyo

vṛddha-sevā-paricyutaḥ

"A person who does not worship Me, who is unduly attached to family and who does not stick to devotional service must be considered a most unhappy person. Similarly, one who does not associate with Vaiṣṇavas, or who does not render service to his superior, is also a most unhappy person."

There is also a statement given in the Bṛhad-bhāgavatāmṛta (1.5.51):

sva-jīvanādhikaṁ prārthyaṁ

śrī-viṣṇu-jana-saṅgataḥ

vicchedena kṣaṇaṁ cātra

na sukhāṁśaṁ labhāmahe

"[King Yudhiṣṭhira said:] 'Out of all kinds of desirable things experienced in the life of a living entity, association with the devotees of the Lord is the greatest. When we are separated from a devotee even for a moment, we cannot enjoy happiness.' "
