K\u1e5b\u1e63\u1e47endriya-pr\u012bti-icch\u0101 dhare &#8216;prema&#8217; n\u0101ma. (Cc. \u0100di 4.165) In the spiritual world one has no desire other than to please the senses of the Supreme Personality of Godhead. The conditioned soul within the material world can neither understand nor appreciate how the devotee in the material world can render confidential service to the Lord out of feelings of ecstatic love and always engage in pleasing the Supreme Lord&#8217;s senses. Although seen within this material world, the pure devotee always engages in the confidential service of the Lord. An ordinary neophyte devotee cannot realize this; therefore it is said, vai\u1e63\u1e47avera kriy\u0101-mudr\u0101 vij\u00f1\u0101neha n\u0101 bujhaya. The activities of a pure Vai\u1e63\u1e47ava cannot be understood even by a learned scholar in the material world.<\/p>\n<p>Every living entity is wandering within this universe in different species and on different planetary systems according to his fruitive activities. Out of many millions of living entities, one may be fortunate enough to receive the seed of the bhakti-lat\u0101, the creeper of devotional service. By the grace of the spiritual master and K\u1e5b\u1e63\u1e47a, one nourishes the bhakti-lat\u0101 by regularly sprinkling it with the water of \u015brava\u1e47a-k\u012brtana, hearing and chanting. In this way the seed of the bhakti-lat\u0101 sprouts and grows up and up through the whole universe until it penetrates the covering of the material universe and reaches the spiritual world. The bhakti-lat\u0101 continues to grow until it reaches the topmost planetary system, Goloka V\u1e5bnd\u0101vana, where K\u1e5b\u1e63\u1e47a lives. There the creeper takes shelter at the lotus feet of the Lord, and that is its final destination. At that time the creeper begins to grow the fruits of ecstatic love of God.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>(Caitanya-carit\u0101m\u1e5bta Madhya 19.155, Purport)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p><img src= \"https:\/\/i.imgur.com\/C5dAHiv.jpeg\" width=\"100%\" \/>&#8220;The fruit of the devotional creeper is pure desire to serve and please the senses of the Supreme Personality of Godhead.
