Text 27] The Glories of Devotional Service 1033
tee who associates with devotees gets the opportunity to hear and con-
template this subject of the pastimes of the Lord, and the result is that he
feels distaste for so-called happiness in this or that world, in heaven or on
other planets. The devotees are simply interested in being transferred to
the personal association of the Lord; they have no more attraction for
temporary so-called happiness. That is the position of one who is yoga-
yukta. One who is fixed in mystic power is not disturbed by the allurement
of this world or that world; he is interested in the matters of spiritual under-
standing or the spiritual situation. This sublime situation is very easily
attained by the easiest process, bhakti-yoga. Rjubhir yoga-margaih. A
very suitable word used here is yjubhih, or very easy. There are different
processes of yoga-marga, attaining yoga perfection, but this process,
devotional service to the Lord, is the easiest. Not only is it the easiest
process, but the result is sublime. Everyone, therefore, should try to take
this process of Krsna consciousness and reach the highest perfection of life.
