Talks Between the Jord and Rāmānanda Rāva
123
devotional service in practice. The result of  sādhana-bhakti  must be ecstatic love, attachment for the Supreme Personality of Godhead, which is also called  prema-bhakti . In the neophyte stage,  sādhana-bhakti  includes faith, association with devotees, and practicing devotional service. Thus one is freed from all unwanted things. One then becomes fixed in devotional service and increases his desire to act in devotional service. Thus one becomes attached to the Lord and His devotional service.
