Text 169] The Lord Instructs Srila Rapa Gosvami 351

favorably; sarva-indriye—with all the senses; krsna-anusilana—cultivation of
Krsna consciousness.

TRANSLATION

“A pure devotee must not cherish any other desire than to serve Krsna. He
should not offer worship to the demigods or to mundane personalities. He
should not cultivate artificial knowledge, which is devoid of Krsna conscious-
ness, and he should not engage himself in anything other than Krsna con-
scious activities. One must engage all one’s purified senses in the service of
the Lord. This is the favorable execution of Krsna conscious activities.

TRANSLATION

“These activities are called Suddha-bhakti, pure devotional service. If one
renders such pure devotional service, he develops his original love for Krsna
in due course of time. In Vedic literatures like the Pafcaratras and Srimad-
Bhagavatam, these symptoms are described.

PURPORT

One has to develop his devotional service under the directions of a pure devo-
tee, the spiritual master, and in accordance with the Vedic directions given in the
Paficaratra and Bhagavatam systems. The Paficaratra system includes methods of
temple worship, and the Bhdagavatam system includes the spreading of Krsna con-
scious philosophy through the recitation of Srimad-Bhagavatam and the discus-
sion of philosophy with people who are interested. Through discussion, one can
create an interest and understanding of the Paficaratra and Bhagavatam systems.
