The Lord says to this effect: He who attains the spiritual level at the same time realizes the Supreme Being and finds infinite joy in it. He never grieves, never yearns for anything.

True happiness does not exist in the whole material cosmos, for it is a world of suffering. In the spiritual and absolute world, the beings who live there act only in the

pure service of love and devotion that they offer to God, established as they are in Krishna consciousness or God consciousness.

Because the Lord possesses absolute fulfilment, beings engaged in His service in turn find fulfilment within themselves.

Because they naturally think of Krishna, God, the Supreme Person, pure beings are always bathed in the most perfect joy.

Living beings find their normal, blissful condition only when they come in contact with God's inner energy, His energy of Bliss. It is in the kingdom of God that true eternal life, true perfect happiness, absolute peace and real freedom are found.

In truth, devotional service is the manifestation of one's love for Krishna, God, and the expression of one's feelings for His Divine Person.

In truth, latent in each of us, love for God can be awakened by the performance of pure devotional service.

Pure devotion leaves no room for desires other than that of advancing in God consciousness or Krishna consciousness, and the latter allows worship of Krishna and Him alone.

Pure devotional service consists of absorbing all our senses in the service of the Lord. Fully understanding that we belong to Krishna body and soul, and recognizing our identity as eternal servants of Krishna, if we use our senses to serve the Lord, only then will we establish ourselves at the level of pure devotional service.

A spontaneous attraction to the service of the Supreme Lord is the hallmark of pure devotional service, which consists of serving the Lord unconditionally and without material restraints. The pure devotee engaged in serving Krishna does not dream of anything else. It is understood that anyone so absorbed in the service of the Lord has attained the highest level of devotion. It is only through this sublime service of love to Krishna that one can escape the influence of maya, the energy of illusion, and savior the pure love of God.
