There are many worshipable objects. For example, the impersonalists worship the brahmajyoti, but by such worship one becomes bereft of life’s symptoms and becomes just like a tree or other nonmoving living entity. Those who worship the so-called void also attain such results. Those who are after material enjoyment (bhukti) worship the demigods and achieve their planets and thus enjoy material happiness.
Here a fundamental question arises that those who are after material happiness and those who are after liberation from material bondage - “Where do they ultimately go?” The answers are clearly given in our Scriptures that those who aspire for liberation ultimately turn into trees, and that the others attain the heavenly planets, where they enjoy material happiness.
Therefore, the transcendental couple, Sri Sri Radha and Krishna, is the ultimate object of worship.
Those who have no taste for Krishna consciousness or spiritual life are just like crows who take pleasure in eating the bitter nimba fruit. It is the poetic cuckoo that eats the buds of the mango tree.
The unfortunate transcendentalists simply speculate on dry philosophy, whereas the transcendentalists who are in love with Radha and Krishna are just like cuckoos enjoying the buds of the mango tree of love of Godhead. Thus those who are devotees of Radha and Krishna are most fortunate. The bitter nimba fruit is not at all edible; it is simply full of dry speculation and is fit only for crowlike philosophers. Mango buds, however, are very relishable, and those in the devotional service of Radha and Krishna enjoy them.
Therefore, the transcendental couple, Sri Sri Radha and Krishna, is the ultimate object of worship.
