If one is attached to material body for fulfillment of material desires, then devotion is offered towards the bestower of material desires (Demigods). Within that living condition, one can achieve supreme mercy of Lord (Supreme spiritual master, Lord Sri Krishna), if one can live like a husband and wife similar to Lord Rama and Sita.
PURPORT:
In this material world one can not live without any material desire. As long as material desire exists, one lives in this material world. Thus it is impossible to become devoid of all material desires completely. As long as our material desire exists, one have to live in a material body. Thus one will be attached to the material body to fulfill one's own desire. But our supreme goal is to become free from material desires to advance into the spiritual world by reaching to the supreme personality of Godhead Lord Sri Krishna. But until we get that mercy of the Lord, we have to live in this material world having material body. Thus material desire will exist until we receive Lord's mercy. But we must devote our self towards the Lord such that we can get mercy of Lord and become free form all material desires. Since Lord is the supreme enjoyer and supreme person, He must be present within us either male or female form. The natural form of Lord within a Female, is Female in gender. The natural form of Lord within a Male, is Male in gender. Thus Lord lives in Male or Female within His/Her natural form depending on the gender of living entities. That is, in His Male form of Krishna or In Her Female form of Radharani. Since Krishna and Radha is not eternally separated, thus Male and Female also never eternally separated and can not be separated. Thus in true spiritual knowledge, every living entity is having one part Male and other part Female. In material world this balance are not completely equal in either for Male or Female. Where as in spiritual world this is completely equal and only one by its spiritual nature. The same Lord can appear in Male or Female, even both. Since material world is not perfect, thus material body appears in either Male or Female. In this material world, when we worship supreme Lord and like to become free, that means, we want to become equal similar to Lord's own Male and Female part and to move towards the spiritual world where Lord is eternally only one. To become similar to Lord's Male or Faminine parts that is missing within us, we need extra mercy of Lord for that missing portion according to our own gender. In that sense, since one Female body is predominated with feminine qualities of Lord, thus to become equal in both or one, one needs mercy of Lord from His Male qualities which is Lord Sri Krishna. In the same way, one Male also needs mercy of Lord from Her feminine qualities who is Radharani. Thus it is natural, that one Male devotee must pray to Radharani for Her mercy in the form of Mohaprabhu and one Female devotee must get the mercy of Lord Sri Krishna to become free from this material desire and material body. In that context, until all material desires are not fulfilled, one Male devotee must worship Radharani portion of Lord and must think his wife as a part of Radharani, similarly, one female devotee must think her husband as part of Lord Sri Krishna and become devoted to him. In that way, one Male and Female devotee can live together and love each other thinking as part of Lord Sri Krishna and Radharani, and worship the supreme couple everyday with complete devotion according to the guidance of their spiritual masters and sastra. If they worship Radha and Krishna in complete devotion, then they will definitely get genuine mercy of Lord and advance towards the spiritual world of Lord Sri Krishna. Once one becomes completely free from all material desires , one should live as husband and wife similar to Lord Rama and Sita by keeping each other only in their heart and should absorb in complete devotion towards the supreme couple Radha and Krishna to achieve their supreme goal in life. In that state of mind, if one can leave one's material body, one will definitely achieve the mercy of supreme Lord Sri Hari. All glories to Lord Hari! All glories to Radha and Krishna!
