Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam
[Canto 2, Ch. 10]
and subtle forms are simply due to ignorance of the conditioned soul, and as soon as he is fixed in the devotional service of the Lord, he becomes eligible to be freed from the conditioned state. This devotional service is transcendental attraction for the Supreme on account of the latter's being the source of all pleasing humors. Everyone is after some pleasure of humor for enjoyment, but does not know the supreme source of all attraction ( raso vai sa rasam hy evāyam labdhvānandī bhavati ). The Vedic hymns inform everyone about the supreme source of all pleasure; the unlimited fountainhead of all pleasure is the Personality of Godhead, and one who is fortunate enough to get this information through the transcendental literatures like  Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam  becomes permanently liberated to occupy one's proper place in the kingdom of God.
