1130 Srimad-Bhagavatam [Canto 4, Ch. 24

mat-gita—sung by me; gitat—by the song; su-pritat—from the Lord who is
very pleased; sreyasam—of all benediction; eka—one; vallabhat—from the
dearmost.

TRANSLATION

The Supreme Personality of Godhead is the dearmost objective of all
auspicious benedictions. A human being who sings this song sung by me
can please the Supreme Personality of Godhead. Such a devotee, being
fixed in the Lord’s devotional service, can acquire whatever he wants from
the Supreme Lord.

PURPORT

As stated in Bhagavad-gita, yam labdhva caparam labham manyate
nadhikam tatah: ‘‘Established thus, one never departs from the truth, and
upon gaining it he thinks there is no greater gain.” (Bg. 6.22) If one can
attain the favor of the Supreme Personality of Godhead, he has nothing to
aspire for, nor does he desire any other gain. When Dhruva Maharaja
became perfect by austerity and saw the Supreme Personality of Godhead
eye to eye, he was offered any kind of benediction he wanted. However,
Dhruva replied that he did not want anything, for he was perfectly satisfied
with the benediction of seeing the Lord. Except for the service of the
Supreme Lord, whatever we want is called illusion, maya. Sri Caitanya
Mahaprabhu said: jivera ‘svariipa’ haya—kysnera ‘nitya-dasa’ (Cc. Madhya
20.108). Every living entity is an eternal servant of the Lord; therefore
when one engages in the service of the Lord, he realizes the highest per-
fection of life. A faithful servant can fulfill any desire by the grace of the
master, and one who engages in the transcendental loving service of the
Lord has nothing to aspire for separately. All his desires are fulfilled simply
by engaging constantly in the Lord’s loving service. Lord Siva shows us
that any devotee can be successful simply by chanting the prayers which
he has recited.
