Dear Devotees,
Please accept my respectful obeisances. All Glories to Srila Prabhupada!
I want to know how to handle feelings of seperation from guru. All I think about is him and feel intense pain in my heart because he is so far. Lord Krishna does give me guidance and knowledge from within which pacifies me for some time...and then the feelings of seperation is back.
I would also like to know how so much of attachment and attraction is felt after a short period of time?
Please comment
Thank You
Your Servant

Hare Krishna dear Kunti Devi Mataji, please accept my humble obeisances! all glories to Srila Prabhupada!
for example one story:
wives of Brahmanas went to feed Krishna and Balarama when Brahmanas refused to give to Them food. when they went they feed Them and wanted to stay with Krishna forever. But Krishna somehow or other told to wives of brahmanas to return back to their homes. They came. when they reached home they told about Krishna to Brahmanas and hearing this explanation of Krishna one Brahmana's wife who was not allowed to go forcefully felt great separation from Krishna just hearing His glories. And left her body and went back to Godhead.

in this way it is very good to feel such like separation to Krishna and to His Devotees.
in material world this separation destroys us and makes us sad but spiritual separation gives immense pleasure. Because in material world if one thing is gone it is gone forever but in spiritual world every one is eternal and we won't never ever loose them.
For example, Narada Muni also because of immense separation would be able to think of Krishna always.
And it is the most highest mood of service and most blissful.
we have to cry and weep when we feel separation from Guru and Devotees. As like Srila Narotama Das Thakur Maharaja says that i will weep and beat my head into a stone, where are my beloved Masters? Lord Gouranga? Lord Nityananda? Advaita Acharya? Srinivas Thakur?
