TRANSLATION

“‘Those who are completely washed of all material contamination by pure
devotional service, who are always satisfied and brightly enlightened in the
heart, who are always attached to understanding the transcendental meaning
of Srimad-Bhagavatam, who are always eager to associate with advanced
devotees, whose happiness in the service of the lotus feet of Govinda is their
very life, who always discharge the confidential activities of love—for such
advanced devotees, who are by nature situated in bliss, the seed of love [rati]
is expanded in the heart by previous and current reformatory processes. Thus
the mixture of ecstatic ingredients becomes tasty and, being within the per-
ception of the devotee, reaches the highest platform of wonder and deep
bliss.’
