Love is only seen in spiritual world & in material world there is Lust only.
Love is for supreme personality of God,Krishna while in material world we seek love in wife,Children,parents,relatives,friends is noting but Lust only.
In caitanya caritamrita Adi Lila chapter 4 text 165 :-
ātmendriya-prīti-vāñchā--tāre bali 'kāma'
kṛṣṇendriya-prīti-icchā dhare 'prema' nāma
The desire to gratify one's own senses is kāma [lust],
but the desire to please the senses of Lord Kṛṣṇa is prema [love].
So to satisfy Krishna’ senses is called Love &
To satisfy one’s own senses is calls Lust.
In Caitanya Caritamrita Love is compared to Gold because it’s most important goal to be achieved By human form of life while Lust is compared to Iron as it’s useless & not of much importance.
Best example about Love for Krishna is Gopis.
Because they have pure love for Krishna.
Srila Prabhupada defined PURE :-
"If there is ample reason for the dissolution of a
conjugal relationship and yet such a dissolution
does not take place, such a relationship of
intimate love is called pure."
So Gopis never stopped loving Krishna even
Though they had ample reasons to stop it.
So their love for Krishna is PURE.
Gopis never considered bodily pleasure, fruitive results,
bodily pains, family relations,social customs,bodily comforts
when it comes to serve Krishna.
They just want to please Krishna by their service & nothing
else they are concerned for.
So the Gopis are the topmost devotees &
amongst the Gopis Srimati Radharani in the topmost Devotee.
We can just pray & beg to the Vaishnavas & Guru for giving us
their causeless mercy so we can get pinch of
this pure transcendental loving devotional service
to Krishna as
Bhakti Vinod Thakur described :-
Tumi Krupa Kori
Shradha bindu diya
Deh Krishna Nam Dhane
