    Bṛhad-bhāgavatāmṛta Part 2 Chapter 3 Text 162


    ekasminn indriye prādur-
    bhūtaṁ nāmāmṛtaṁ rasaiḥ
    āplāvayati sarvāṇīn-
    driyāṇi madhurair nijaiḥ

    TRANSLATION

    When the nectar of the Lord’s name appears in just one sense, all the senses are flooded with their own sweet tastes.

    Bṛhad-bhāgavatāmṛta Part 2 Chapter 3 Text 157


    ekākitvena tu dhyānaṁ
    vivikte khalu sidhyati
    saṅkīrtanaṁ vivikte ’pi
    bahūnāṁ saṅgato ’pi ca

    TRANSLATION

    Meditation one can successfully perform only in seclusion, but saṅkīrtana either in seclusion or in the company of many others.

    Bṛhad-bhāgavatāmṛta Part 2 Chapter 3 Text 150


    evaṁ prabhor dhyāna-ratair mataś ced
    buddhyedṛśaṁ tatra vivecanīyam
    dhyānaṁ parisphūrti-viśeṣa-niṣṭhā
    sambandha-mātraṁ manasā smṛtir hi

    TRANSLATION

    If those attached to meditation on the Lord still insist that remembering is of greater importance, with their intelligence they should make the following distinction: In meditation the Lord reveals Himself fully with His particular qualities, but in remembrance the mind merely comes in contact with the Lord.

    Bṛhad-bhāgavatāmṛta Part 2 Chapter 3 Text 146


    premṇo ’ntar-aṅgaṁ kila sādhanottamaṁ
    manyeta kaiścit smaraṇaṁ na kīrtanam
    ekendriye vāci vicetane sukhaṁ
    bhaktiḥ sphuraty āśu hi kīrtanātmikā

    TRANSLATION

    Some think that remembering, rather than chanting, is the essential means of devotional practice, the means that most effectively leads to prema, for bhakti in the form of chanting appears quickly and easily, and in only one sense, that of speech, which is not itself alive and conscious.

    Bṛhad-bhāgavatāmṛta Part 2 Chapter 3 Text 143


    tvarā ced vidyate śrīmad-
    vaikuṇṭhālokane tava
    sarvābhīṣṭa-prada-śreṣṭhāṁ
    tāṁ śrī-vraja-bhuvaṁ vraja

    TRANSLATION

    If you are in a hurry to see the divine world of Vaikuṇṭha, then go to Śrī Vraja-bhūmi, the place that can best award the fulfillment of all your ambitions.

    Bṛhad-bhāgavatāmṛta Part 2 Chapter 3 Text 133


    nijendriya-manaḥ-kāya-
    ceṣṭā-rūpāṁ na viddhi tām
    nitya-satya-ghanānanda-
    rūpā sā hi guṇātigā

    TRANSLATION

    You should not consider devotional service merely an activity of the body, senses, and mind. It is in fact the eternal absolute reality, manifesting itself as the most intense ecstasy, beyond the material modes.

    teṣāṁ kasmiṁścid ekasmiñ
    śraddhayānuṣṭhite sati
    svayam āvirbhavet premā
    śrīmat-kṛṣṇa-padābjayoḥ

    TRANSLATION

    When one engages with faith in even one of these forms of bhakti, pure love for the lotus feet of Śrī Kṛṣṇa automatically arises.

    bhaktir nava-vidhāñjasā
    sampādyate vicitraitad-
    rasa-mādhurya-labdhaye

    TRANSLATION

    Yet devotees who understand the rasas of devotional service may practice all nine forms of bhakti to easily obtain the sweetness of its diverse tastes.

    bhagavat-pārṣadās te mām
    āśliṣyocuḥ suhṛd-varāḥ

    TRANSLATION

    Śrī Gopa-kumāra said: Abashed at hearing himself praised, Lord Śiva remained silent. Then the associates of Lord Viṣṇu, who were Lord Śiva’s dearmost friends, embraced me and spoke.
