TRANSLATION
“ ‘Bhakti, or devotional service, means engaging all our senses in the ser-
vice of the Lord, the Supreme Personality of Godhead, the master of all the
senses. When the spirit soul renders service unto the Supreme, there are two
side effects. One is freed from all material designations, and, simply by being
employed in the service of the Lord, one’s senses are purified.’
