haribol everyone,
i'm a new member and glad to be here, but I've been reading the forums for a while now. I am looking for the full text of a verse i heard at the temple last week (i went away without asking, doh!) I know the first line translates to 'without desires other than those for the service of Lord Krishna....' i have it on mp3 but i need to see the text to help with my pronunciation. any help will be gratefuly received,,
hare Krishna

key in the translation: "When first-class devotional service develops"
when first class devotion develops (very rare) - then these things are relative.
Purport:
" Everyone should become His devotee, not the devotee of a demigod" - - find the root and water it!
"The criterion is that a devotee must know what Krishna wants him to do" -- this is a subject requiring great investigation.
"It has been actually proved that the entire world can accept devotional service without failure. One simply has to follow the instructions of the representative of Krishna." -- This is true! - but wont happen as long as the different schools of thought keep trying to change the Vedas to suit their method, we have to ask why is this, and who has Ishvara ?
Haribol
