The Glories of Devotional Service
1033
tee who associates with devotees gets the opportunity to hear and contemplate this subject of the pastimes of the Lord, and the result is that he feels distaste for so-called happiness in this or that world, in heaven or on other planets. The devotees are simply interested in being transferred to the personal association of the Lord; they have no more attraction for temporary so-called happiness. That is the position of one who is  yoga-yukta . One who is fixed in mystic power is not disturbed by the allurement of this world or that world; he is interested in the matters of spiritual understanding or the spiritual situation. This sublime situation is very easily attained by the easiest process,  bhakti-yoga .  Rjubhir yoga-mārgaiḥ . A very suitable word used here is  rjubhiḥ , or very easy. There are different processes of  yoga-mārga , attaining  yoga  perfection, but this process, devotional service to the Lord, is the easiest. Not only is it the easiest process, but the result is sublime. Everyone, therefore, should try to take this process of  Kṛṣṇa  consciousness and reach the highest perfection of life.
