love of the Lord has the effect of immediately destroy any attachment he may have for any service in this world.

The service of love and devotion has the power to confer on pure beings the highest of all blessings, namely direct contact with the Supreme Lord, Krishna. With his wonderful smile, the Lord shows his appreciation for the service that his devotees offer him, and reduces their suffering to nothing. So soft are the reflections of her face, embellished on both sides with ear ornaments, dazzling by the radiance of her lips, by the beauty of her nose and her eyebrows.

My pure devotees are charmed at the sight of My various forms, by the radiance of My face, and the unspeakable grace of My body.
