The.

Thoughts of my pure devotees dwell in me. Their lives are fully devoted to my service and they derive great satisfaction and bliss from from always enlightening one another and conversing about me. Pure devotees, whose characteristics are mentioned here, engage themselves fully in the transcendental loving service of the Lord. Their minds cannot be diverted from the lotus feet of Ka. Their thoughts are solely on the transcendental subjects. The symptoms of the pure devotees are described in this verse. Specifically, devotees of the Supreme Lord are 24 hours daily engaged in glorifying the qualities and pastimes of the Supreme Lord. Their hearts and souls are constantly submerged in Krishna, and they take pleasure in discussing him with other devotees. In the preliminary stage of devotional service, the they relish the transcendental pleasure from the service itself, and in the mature stage they are actually situated in love of God. Once situated in the transcendental position, they can relish the highest perfection which is exhibited by the Lord in His abode. Lord Chaitanya likens transcendental devotional service to the sowing of a seed in the heart of the living entity. There are innumerable living entities traveling throughout the different planets of the universe, and out of them there are a few who are fortunate enough to meet a pure devotee and get the chance to understand devotional service. This devotional service is just like a seed, and if it is sown in the heart of a living entity, and if he goes on hearing and chanting Hare Krishna Hare Krishna Krishna Krishna Hare Hare Hare Hare that seed fructifies just as the seed of a tree fructifies with regular watering. The spiritual plant of devotional service gradually grows and grows until it penetrates the covering of the material universe and enters into the Brahma Jyoti effulgence in the spiritual sky. In the spiritual sky also, that plant grows more and more until it reaches the highest planet, which is called Golokama, Supreme Planet of Krishna. Ultimately, the plant takes shelter under the lotus feet of Krishna and rests there. Gradually, as a plant grows fruits and flowers. That plant of devotional service also produces fruits and the watering process in the form of chanting and hearing goes on. This plant of devotional service is fully described in the Chaitanya Charitamruta Madhya Leela chapter 19. It is explained there that when the complete plant takes shelter under the lotus feet of the Supreme Lord, one becomes fully absorbed in love of God. Then he cannot live even for a moment without being in contact with the Supreme Lord, just as a fish cannot live without water. In such a state, the devotee actually attains the transcendental qualities in contact with the Supreme Lord. The Shreemad Bhagavatam is also full of such narrations about the relationship between the Supreme Lord and his devotees. Therefore, the Srimad Bhagavatam is very dear to the devotees as stated in the Bhagavatam itself. In this narration, there is nothing about material activities, economic development, sex, gratification or liberation. Shrimad Bhagavatam is the only narration in which the transcendental nature of the Supreme Lord and his devotees is fully described. Thus, the realized souls in Ka consciousness take continual pleasure in hearing such transcendental literatures just as a young boy and girl take pleasure in association. The thoughts of my pure devotees dwell in me. Their lives are fully devoted to my service and they derive great satisfaction and bliss from always enlightening one another and convulsing about me.

This is a very nice verse and Prabhupada dedicated a lot of the energy and time in writing the third part for this verse. This third part is quite long and this is one of his favorite stories. How by watering the Kitta of devotional service we must become expert gardeners and we water the Gita of devotional source. It grows and grows and grows. It colors the park, it keen plankary systems both beyond the Roja, beyond the Brahma Jyoti, beyond Kailash, beyond Roman Jodhpi, beyond the like. There the Krita wraps around the lotus thing of Radha and Krishna and the fruits and the powers come. What is the fruit? What is the Krishna Bhava or ecstatic love of Krishna? Aesthetic love. Still one is 99% of Christian conscious and maybe one person material 100% are Krishna at the welcome. Wow. Her name Malavi is one of the names of Radharani Krishna. He's very shiny right now. I heard you. I'm always shy. So this verse. You can show the verse. This verse tells us about Ka devotees, what is their nature, what they like to talk about. Ka. You see, this material work is. This material world is Eka Pada Veluthi where the spiritual world is pitada Veluti. That means that the spiritual world is makes up each time more energy to extent is much bigger. The material world is very small, intense. This is considered to be like a prisoner where the conditioned souls live. Now there is an Indian vada, living entities, the eternally conditioned. They are living in this material world. And in Nithya Mukta devotees, sometimes in Nithya Mukta devotee comes down to the material world to deliver conditioned souls like Narada Muni or others. I think Narada Muni is already completely liberated. Some Acharyas, they're not liberated, but they're liberated in the sense that Elizin Ben is meant for the pleasure of Ka. So therefore this, like a magnet, can magnetize a piece of steel or iron. So they get Krishna eyes, but they get spiritualized. So in this way, some of the Acharya as they come down is to give up this knowledge. And the devotees who are living here in the material world, they are preparing themselves to go back to garden because they'd like to discuss about Ka. Talking about Ka naturally qualifies them to go back to the spiritual world. Qualifies them to go back to the spiritual world. One day I saw our Haram guru, Bhakti Siddhartha Saraswati Thakur. He had a daily newsletter. So he was asked, how can you publish a daily newsletter? I mean, how do you get so much news? There are so many things happening in the material world. But spiritually, for the most people, that spiritual world is like some vid or some imagination. He explained that the spiritual world is 10 times bigger than the material world. So Krishna has Ananda Leela. He has unlimited pastime so he can write unlearnedly about Krishna in our daily newsletter. So like this, most people, they don't realize how much bliss, how much ecstasy there is and serving and talking about Ka. Instead, they are deprived of this. They wonder what the devotees are doing, how the devotees will enjoy themselves. But they don't realize that the Lordes take great pleasure in discussing about Vishnu. How many of you like to hear the Lordis here? They are nationally interested in Krishna. So we have to connect in others. How nice it is to talk about Bhagavad Gita Srimadarpaja. I mean, we don't say newspaper or don't watch the news on TV or something. But those things come and go. But Ka's eternal lifestyles are something which is eternal. It's further. And by discussing Ka, we are going to purify ourselves. We are going to call upon ourselves that even if you know that Ka's activities and his words are spiritual in nature, they did them, they are transcendental. If you know them, then at end of this life, you don't have to take reincarnation again.
