Signs of genuine spiritual love (prema):
Deep humility
Desire to serve (not just speak)
Emotional transformation (soft heart, tears, devotion)
Persistence despite difficulties
Making decisions centered on pleasing Krishna
Challenges in life are compared to tests that reveal and deepen devotion—like fire purifying gold. True devotees become stronger and more beautiful in their devotion through hardship.
