Coming to The Platform of Pure Devotional Service

Quotes by Srila Prabhupada on Coming to The Platform of Pure Devotional Service

Devotional service is dependent on the mercy of Krishna and His Devotees. Unless we surrender to the lotus feet of a pure devotee, it is not possible to come to the platform of pure devotional service. By his own efforts a bee cannot taste the honey within a bottle. The bottle must be opened by a superior. If the bee simply licks the outside of the bottle, thinking “Now I am tasting honey,” Then he is in illusion. Similarly, no one can enter into devotional service unless the door is opened by a devotee.

Sadhana Bhakti

Quotes by Srila Prabhupada on Sadhana Bhakti

When transcendental devotional service, by which love for Krishna is attained is executed by the senses, it is called Saadhana Bhakti, or the regulative discharge of devotional service. Such devotion eternally exists within the heart of every living entity. The awakening of this eternal devotion is the potentiality of devotional service in practice. — Sri Caitanya Caritamrta, Madhya Lila, 22.105.
