176 Srimad-Bhagavatam [Canto 10, Ch. 2

“One who is thus transcendentally situated at once realizes the Supreme
Brahman and becomes fully joyful. He never laments nor desires to have
anything; he is equally disposed to every living entity. In that state he at-
tains pure devotional service unto Me. One can understand the Supreme
Personality as He is only by devotional service. And when one is in full

consciousness of the Supreme Lord by such devotion, he can enter into
the kingdom of God.”

TRANSLATION

O Madhava, Supreme Personality of Godhead, Lord of the god-
dess of fortune, if devotees completely in love with You sometimes
fall from the path of devotion, they do not fall like nondevotees,
for You still protect them. Thus they fearlessly traverse the heads
of their opponents and continue to progress in devotional service.
