TRANSLATION
“Through the mercy of Ramananda Raya, | have understood that ecstatic
love of Krsna is the highest goal of life and that spontaneous love of Krsna is
the highest perfection.
PURPORT
Purusartha (‘the goal of life’) generally refers to religion, economic develop-
ment, satisfaction of the senses and, finally, liberation. However, above these four
kinds of purusarthas, love of Godhead stands supreme. It is called parama-
purusartha (the supreme goal of life) or purusartha-siromani (the most exalted of
all purusarthas). Lord Krsna is worshiped by regulative devotional service, but the
highest perfection of devotional service is spontaneous love of Godhead.
