Srila Prabhupada on Separation in The Spiritual World
Tears for Lord Krishna are as good as associating with Him personally. In the spiritual world separation is more valuable than meeting.

If we approach Krishna in a leisurely way, then Krishna will give us some leisurely realization of Him. If we approach Krishna very urgently, desperately, with great need then Krishna will give us a very intense experience of His presence in our life.
Unless we have hunger, we cannot digest properly, no matter how palatable the food is. It will not really benefit us. Similarly, there should be a great desperation that I need God, I need His mercy and then we can digest this topmost knowledge properly
The same mind and senses can either elevate us or degrade us. It just depends on the type of pleasure we are looking for.
