Text 12] The Activities of King Bharata 263

“The supreme occupation [dharma] for all humanity is that by which
men can attain to loving devotional service unto the transcendent Lord.
Such devotional service must be unmotivated and uninterrupted in order
to completely satisfy the self. By rendering devotional service unto the
Personality of Godhead, Sri Krsna, one immediately acquires causeless
knowledge and detachment from the world.” (Bhag. 1.2.6-7)

These are the instructions given in Srimad-Bhagavatam, the supreme
Vedic literature. One may not be able to go to Pulaha-asrama, but
wherever one is one can happily render devotional service to the Lord by
adopting the processes mentioned above.
