The last twelve years were simply devoted to relishing the pastimes of Krsna in separation within the heart of the Lord.
PURPORT
Sri Krsna Caitanya Mahaprabhu enjoyed the position of the gopis in separation from Krsna. When Krsna left the gopis and went to Mathura, the gopis cried for Him the rest of their lives, feeling intense separation from Him. This ecstatic feeling of separation was specifically advocated by Lord Caitanya Mahaprabhu through His actual demonstrations.
