serve him with love and devotion, in order to satisfy him, and thus enter into eternal life.

Approaching and knowing God as He really is, loving and serving Him with love and devotion, is the highest perfection of existence.

Our dearest desire is to return to the kingdom of God, all of knowledge, bliss and eternity, to serve and love him eternally.

In truth, reason must lead us from the beginning of life to practice the service of love and devotion offered to God, in order to rekindle our love for him, to increase our attachment to satisfy him, to obey him, to do his divine will, and take pleasure in living in his divine company, immersed in eternal Bliss.

Devotional service is the manifestation of love for God.

In truth, devotional service is the manifestation of the love one feels for Krishna, God, and the expression of the feelings one feels 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 progressing in God consciousness or Krishna consciousness, and the latter admits the worship of only Krishna, and Him alone.

Pure devotional service is to absorb all of our senses in the service of the Lord. Understanding perfectly that we belong body and soul to Krishna, and recognizing our identity as eternal servants of his Person, if we use our senses to serve him, only then will we establish ourselves at the level of pure devotional service.

A spontaneous attraction to the service of the Supreme Lord is what characterizes pure devotional service, which consists in serving the Lord unconditionally and without material hindrances. The pure devotee busy serving Krishna dreams of nothing else. It is understood that anyone thus absorbed in the service of the Lord has reached the highest level of devotion. Only this service of sublime love offered to Krishna makes it possible to escape the influence of maya, the energy of illusion, and to savor the pure love of God.

There are three levels of devotional service.

That of initial learning, that of realization and that of pure love for God, the final stage.

At the stage of love for God there appear various transcendental manifestations, such as affection, emotion, ecstasy and an attachment of extreme intensity.
