Question by a Devotee: When we talk of love, we need a person who we can
see, touch, talk and get responses but we cannot see Krishna, cannot touch
Him or get any reciprocation, so how to love Krishna?
HH Bhakti Charu Swami: There are two terms : Sense Gratification and
Spiritual Reciprocation.
Sense gratification - I can touch, see, talk but all that is centered
around sense perception but beyond that is the consciousness. Our
consciousness now in the conditioned stage is flowing through the body and
so sense perception becomes important. But beyond sense perception is the
spiritual reality. I can talk to somebody, touch somebody - yes you can also
have that same relationship with Krishna but you have to follow the
spiritual process. Spiritual life is absolute reality. Krishna is real but
we have lost the ability to realize him. Just like a blind man cannot see
the sun, but that doesnt affect the sun. It is the blind's man fault that he
cannot see the sun and there is a cure for the disease. When the blindness
is cured then he can see the sun and along with will come all kinds of
enjoyment

All glories to srila prabhupada & gurumaharaj
Dear Aakash Prabhu,
Please accept my humble obeisances,
Anyone who is sincere in inquiring about Absolute Truth will definitely experience spiritual bliss. But, it will be at the level of his(soul not the senses) realization. Here realizations can be at the levels of Brahman, Paramatma and Bhagavan. There are sincere devotees who are experiencing spiritual bliss at all these levels. The beauty of spiritual bliss is such that, the more spiritual bliss you experience the more you will look for. It is so nice that, even if you want to stop searching for more experience(just like Gopis), you can't stop it.
So, the answer for your question is, There are many sincere devotees who experienced the spiritual bliss and are looking(searching) for more(Un-Ending) experience.
Hare Krishna,
Giridhara Gopala Das

All glories to srila prabhupada and my gurudev!
That was really nice question, I too dont understand how does spiritual life will be and how to love and feel being loved without involving senses, Has anyone experienced this spiritual bliss or everybody is in search of it?

Nitin Pr, U are posting very helpful articles now a days
!! Hare Krishna..Hari Om..Jaya Jaya Sankara Hara Hara Sankara !! Bhaktha koti charanAravindam !!
The Supreme Lord has different forms to make himself reachable to his loving devotees.
For the jivanmukthas, Vaishnavas and other spiritually-realized souls and beings, He shows His form in Vaikunta as Sriman Narayana. For the devotees in Krshna-prema Bhakthi, He offers his two-handed sweet GopAla form in Goloka. For the devAs, he offers his four-handed form as Kshirodakasayi Vishnu. For the devotees in this BhulokA, He offers Himself as 'Archavatara' or His deity form in paintings, idols, sculptures etc. We can show our love to the Archavatara murthis and by serving them diligently, the Lord reciprocates to us with His divine mercy.
In service of the Lord and his devotees,
Suresh
