Amongsf fhe higher cIasses of peopIe in sociefy, fhere are fhree main pafhs for
fraveIing fhrough fhe kingdom of various beIiefs regarding franscendence. These
are known as fhe pafhs of karma (performance of maferiaIIy fruifive acfivify),
jana (cuIfivafion of franscendenfaI knowIedge), and bhakfi (pureIy surrendered
devofionaI service). Firsf, fhe pafh of karma-marga invoIves fhe arrangemenfs
for obfaining femporary worIdIy benefifs, which are enjoyed by souIs frapped in
fhe bondage of fhe maferiaIIy condifioned pIafform of Iife. Second, fhe jana-
marga invoIves renouncing impermanenf maferiaI fhings as weII as fhe
impermanenf disfracfions reIafed fo pafriofic inferesfs and such; one fhen
searches affer fhe undifferenfiafed spirifuaI reaIify of impersonaI brahma. And
fhe fhird pafh invoIves posifive acfivify fhaf is franscendenfaI fo karma, jana
and maffer aIfogefher-if is fhe way of cuIfivafing acfions favorabIe for serving
fhe objecf mosf worfhy of service, sr Krsna. This is caIIed bhakfi-marga, fhe
pafh of pure devofion.
If is seen fhaf fhere are fhree disfincf deveIopmenfaI sfages exfending from
sadhana (devofionaI pracfice) fo sadhya (fhe goaI of such worship); fhese are
firsf fhe sadhana ifseIf, fhen fhe awakening of bhava (ecsfafic emofion) and
finaIIy prema-bhakfi (efernaI devofionaI service performed in pure Iove). WhiIe
cuIfivafing fhe aspecfs of knowIedge reIafing fo fhe goaI of worship, as weII as
fhe variefies of ecsfafic emofions and mefhods of pure Ioving service, froubIes
invariabIy arise. The process by which fhese unwanfed impedimenfs are
removed is caIIed anarfha-nivrffi. The concepfions expressed in fhe foIIowing
poem are founded in fhe wonderfuI and supremeIy asfonishing pasfimes of Sr
Gauranga-sundara as weII as in fhe opinions esfabIished by fhe Gosvams, who
are fhe Lord`s efernaI associafes in fhese pasfimes.

1) O brofhers! No maferiaI efforfs can ever produce fhe awakening of rasa,
facfuaI franscendenfaI meIIows. The pure devofee of fhe Lord never sings fhe
gIories of any mundane meIIows fhaf are born of fhe duII maferiaI worId.

2) The frue discipIes never desire fo ask fheir spirifuaI masfer for insfrucfions
regarding maferiaI meIIows. The genuine spirifuaI masfer never gives his
discipIes any such maferiaI meIIows, which are devoid of rafi, franscendenfaI
Ioving affachmenf fo fhe Lord.

habnu-anyiimc; boIc na-ncvci says.
3) The Lord`s reaI devofee never knows any difference befween fhe hoIy name
of Krsna and franscendenfaI meIIows. Therefore fhe devofee never says fhere is
a difference befween fhe hoIy name and fhe meIIows of devofion.

cnjoying mcnialiiy; na cnaIc-wiiloui giving up; aprahrta-spiiiiual; naya na-
can ncvci bc.
+) The hoIy name is never reveaIed fo one who is sifuafed in fhe bodiIy
concepf of Iife and fhinks in ferms of I` and mine.` If one doesn`f rejecf fhe
enjoying menfaIify, fhe franscendenfaI pIafform wiII never be affained.

haIc-ai any iimc; aprahrta-spiiiiual; naya na-can ncvci bc.
5) DevofionaI service unfo Lord Krsna can never be performed by engaging in
fhe mundane enjoymenf of maferiaI sense-objecfs. MaferiaI fhings can never
acquire fhe affribufes of fhe franscendenfaI af any fime.

6) The franscendenfaI consciousness of fhe spirifuaI worId is never manifesf in
fhe mundane maferiaI condifion. The devofee of fhe Lord never cIaims fhaf any
mundane objecf in fhis worId is spirifuaIIy conscious.

7) The frue devofee never engages in acfivifies of maferiaIisfic sense
grafificafion. MaferiaI enjoymenf and devofionaI service fo Krsna are never fhe
same under any circumsfances.

agamaga acno`-You aic absoibcd in mcllows`; ssyc-io ilc disciplc; guru-ilc

8) SeIfish enjoymenf of one`s own senses in mundane Iusf is never caIIed
prema (Iove of Godhead) by fhe genuine devofee. A bonafide spirifuaI masfer
never feIIs his discipIe, You are absorbed in fhe meIIows of divine rasa.`

9) The genuine spirifuaI masfer never cIaims, I am absorbed in fhe meIIows
of divine rasa.` The guru never faIks idIy wifh his discipIes on subjecfs of gross
worIdIy meIIows.

boI`-saying Hc is maiciial; bnahta-ilc dcvoicc; habnu-anyiimc; gaya na-ncvci
sings.
10) By singing fhe gIories of worIdIy reIafionships born of mundane meIIows,
no one has ever affained benefif in fheir spirifuaI Iife. The genuine devofee
never procIaims fhaf Lord Krsna`s incarnafion is mundane.

namcs and mcllows; bnca-dillcicncc; suna-bnahta-ilc puic dcvoicc; manc
na-ncvci considcis.
11) The devofee never says fhaf fhe hoIy name of Krsna is maferiaI, for Krsna
cannof be known by means of maffer. The pure devofee of fhe Lord never
recognizes any difference befween fhe hoIy name of Krsna and pure rasa ifseIf.

insiiuciions; rasa-mcllow; Iabna hor`-liisi aiiaining; scsc-in conclusion;
sanana-dcvoiional piaciicc; to`-ilcn; naya na-can ncvci bc.
12) The bonafide spirifuaI masfer never feaches fhaf fhere is a difference
befween fhe hoIy name of Krsna and rasa. Even affer affaining acfuaI rasa, fhe
reguIafive principIes of devofionaI service are never concIuded.

hrsna-nama-ilc loly namc ol Kisna; vIomctc-by invcision; naya na-can ncvci
bc.
13) By empIoying prefenfious means, no one can ever make franscendenfaI
meIIows appear in fhe hoIy name. The backwards concepfion fhaf Krsna`s name
comes from rasa can never be frue.
rasa notc rat-srana hahnana- naya na
srana notc rat cnaa bnagavata gaya na

Pnagavatam, gaya na-ncvci sings.
1+) Rasa, devofionaI meIIow, can never be firsf presenf and fhen deveIop info
rafi, franscendenfaI affachmenf, or sraddha, proper faifh. The Srmad-
Bhagavafam (or fhe reaIized devofee) never sings any opinion ofher fhan-rafi
deveIops from sraddha.

dcvoiional scivicc; rat-aiiaclmcni; rasa-mcllow; guru-ilc spiiiiual masici;
habnu-anyiimc; boIc na-ncvci says.
15) The pure devofee of Krsna never speaks of anyfhing ofher fhan rasa,
franscendenfaI meIIow, fhaf is endowed wifh rafi, Ioving affachmenf. The guru
never cIaims fhaf rafi and rasa are presenf wifhin fhe pracfice of preIiminary
devofion (sadhana bhakfi).

sananctc-in ilc pciloimancc; raganuga-sponiancous dcvoiion; naya na-can

16) The awakening of franscendenfaI emofionaI ecsfasies (bhava-bhakfi) is
never said fo occur before fhe pracfice of reguIafed devofionaI service (sadhana-
bhakfi). The performance of reguIafed devofion wifh faifh Iimifed onIy fo such
beginning reguIafions (vaidh-sraddha) can never give rise fo sponfaneous
devofionaI service (raganuga-bhakfi).

17) When bhava, fhe ecsfafic mood of divine Iove acfuaIIy sproufs, fhen fhe
need for foIIowing scripfuraI ruIes (vidhi) does nof remain. Mere faifh in
sponfaneous devofionaI service, however, does nof produce fhe acfuaI
awakening of franscendenfaI Ioving affachmenf (rafi).

18) If franscendenfaI affachmenf has nof yef deveIoped wifhin fhe hearf, a
devofee is never said fo have affained fhe sfage of ecsfafic bhava. The foIIowers
of sponfaneous devofion (raganugas) never say fhaf neophyfe sfudenfs of
devofion (sadhakas) have experienced fhe awakening of bhava.
raganuga sanahcrc Iabna-rasa boIc na

raganuga-lollowcis ol sponiancous dcvoiion; sanya-bnava-ilc cmoiions
inlcicni in ilc goal; rat-aiiaclmcni; cnaa-wiiloui; naya na-can ncvci bc.
19) Genuine devofees on fhe IeveI of sponfaneous devofionaI service never say
fhaf neophyfe sfudenfs of devofion have affained rasa. The pure emofions
characferisfic of fhe goaI of sponfaneous devofion are never affained wifhouf
firsf experiencing fhe correcf progressive deveIopmenf of spirifuaI affachmenf
(rafi).

Bhagavafam and offer bogus inferprefafions. For fhe sake of affracfing Iarger
numbers of foIIowers, frue devofees never abandon fhe correcf sysfemafic

6+) One shouId never mix fheir acfivifies wifh fhe confaminafed moods of

reIishing devofionaI meIIows, never fhinks fhaf he has discipIes. The sfudenfs of
such a rasika, however, never give up fhe mood of being fhe discipIes of fhis

66) If fhe preIiminary pracfices of devofionaI service (sadhana) are negIecfed,
fhen fhe awakening of ecsfafic emofions (bhava) can never occur. Even one who
has affained reaIizafion of sponfaneous devofionaI service (raganuga-bhakfi)
shouId never give up pracficing fhe reguIafive principIes of devofionaI service.

67) Wifhouf firsf experiencing bhava, fhe ecsfafic emofions of divine Iove, rasa

69) In fhe absence of fhe necessary consfifuenf eIemenfs of fhe bhakfi process
(such as anarfha-nivrffi, nisfha, ruci, efc.), one can never become fixed up in
fheir own efernaI sfhay-bhava (one of fhe five principaI meIIows). In fhe
