    śrī-gopa-kumāra uvāca
    teṣām etair vacobhir me
    bhaktir vṛddhiṁ gatā prabhau
    vicāraś caiṣa hṛdaye
    ’jani māthura-bhūsura

    TRANSLATION

    Śrī Gopa-kumāra said: O Mathurā brāhmaṇa, these words of the scriptures greatly strengthened my devotion for the Supreme Lord, and this thought was born in my heart:

    Bṛhad-bhāgavatāmṛta Part 2 Chapter 2 Texts 223-224


    bhavāṁs tu yadi mokṣasya
    tucchatvānubhavena hi
    viśuddha-bhagavad-bhakti-
    niṣṭhā-sampattim icchati

    tadā nijaṁ mahā-mantraṁ

    tam eva bhajatāṁ param
    atrāpīdaṁ mahā-gūḍhaṁ
    śṛṇotu hṛdayaṅ-gamam

    TRANSLATION

    If you have indeed realized the pettiness of liberation and want to attain the treasure of firm faith in pure devotional service to the Lord, then simply worship your transcendental mantra. And please hear this great secret, which is pleasing to the heart:

    Bṛhad-bhāgavatāmṛta Part 2 Chapter 2 Text 218


    sadaika-rūpo ’pi sa viṣṇur ātmanas
    tathā sva-bhakter janayaty anu-kṣaṇam
    vicitra-mādhurya-śataṁ navaṁ navaṁ
    tayā sva-śaktyetara-durvitarkyayā

    TRANSLATION

    Although Lord Viṣṇu is always one and unchanging, at every moment He brings forth hundreds of newer and newer varieties of transcendental charm, both in Himself and in His devotional service. He does this by His personal energy, inconceivable to everyone else.

    Bṛhad-bhāgavatāmṛta Part 2 Chapter 2 Text 217


    sadaika-rūpaṁ bahu-rūpam adbhutaṁ
    vimukti-saukhyāt pratiyogi tat sukham
    harer mahā-bhakti-vilāsa-mādhurī-
    bharātmakaṁ tarkyam atad-vidāṁ na hi

    TRANSLATION

    That extraordinary happiness is always one, yet it assumes many features. It stands in contrast to the happiness of impersonal liberation. Devotional happiness is made of the intense sweetness of sporting pastimes in the highest devotional service to the Lord. Persons unfamiliar with this pleasure cannot even imagine what it is like.

    Bṛhad-bhāgavatāmṛta Part 2 Chapter 2 Text 215


    paraṁ samādhau sukham ekam asphuṭaṁ
    vṛtter abhāvān manaso na cātatam
    vṛttau sphurad vastu tad eva bhāsate
    ’dhikaṁ yathaiva sphaṭikācale mahaḥ

    TRANSLATION

    The happiness felt in impersonal samādhi is plain, isolated, vague, and limited because in that samādhi the functions of the mind have ceased. But when the object of meditation appears in the active mind, that object is more vividly manifest, like sunlight reflected on a crystal mountain.

    Bṛhad-bhāgavatāmṛta Part 2 Chapter 2 Text 209


    avāntara-phalaṁ bhakter
    eva mokṣādi yady api
    tathāpi nātmārāmatvaṁ
    grāhyaṁ prema-virodhi yat

    TRANSLATION

    Even though liberation and its effects are natural by-products of devotional service, devotees do not regard satisfaction in the self as worth taking, for it obstructs pure love of God.

    Bṛhad-bhāgavatāmṛta Part 2 Chapter 2 Text 207


    muktāś cāsya tayā śaktyā
    sac-cid-ānanda-dehitām
    prāpitās te bhajante taṁ
    tādṛśaiḥ karaṇair harim

    TRANSLATION

    The Lord’s personal energy grants those liberated souls spiritual bodies of eternity, knowledge, and bliss. And with the spiritual senses thus acquired, those souls worship Lord Hari.

    Bṛhad-bhāgavatāmṛta Part 2 Chapter 2 Text 193


    tat sukhaṁ vardhate ’bhīkṣṇam
    anantaṁ paramaṁ mahat
    na tu brahma-sukhaṁ muktau
    vardhate sīmavad yataḥ

    TRANSLATION

    That happiness increases endlessly. It is limitless and supremely great. In contrast, the happiness of Brahman found in liberation never increases, because it is limited.

    Bṛhad-bhāgavatāmṛta Part 2 Chapter 2 Text 169


    śrī-bhakti-śāstrāṇy ūcuḥ
    labdha-brahmādhikāredaṁ
    mahā-gopyaṁ nidher api
    bhavat-sad-guṇa-sandohair
    ākhyāmo mukharī-kṛtāḥ

    TRANSLATION

    The devotional scriptures said: O dear one who have achieved the post of Brahmā, this topic is more secret than a rare treasure. But we shall explain it to you because your abundant good qualities inspire us to speak freely.
