40 Srimad-Bhagavatam [Canto 9, Ch. 9
PURPORT

A devotee is always transcendentally situated. Param drstvd nivartate:
one who has seen the Supreme Personality of Godhead is no longer in-
terested in material sense enjoyment. Even such an exalted devotee as
Dhruva Maharaja went to the forest for the sake of material benefit, but
when he actually saw the Supreme Personality of Godhead, he refused to
accept any material benediction. He said, suamin krtartho ’smi varam na
yace: “My dear Lord, I am fully satisfied with whatever You have given
me or not given me. I have nothing to ask from You, for I am fully
satisfied to be engaged in Your service.” This is the mentality of a pure
devotee, who does not want anything, material or spiritual, from the Per-
sonality of Godhead. Our Krsna consciousness movement is therefore
called krsna-bhavandmrta-sarigha, the association of persons who are
simply satisfied in thoughts of Krsna. Being absorbed in thoughts of
Krsna is neither expensive nor troublesome. Krsna says, man-manda
bhava mad-bhakto mad-yaji mam namaskuru: “Engage your mind al-
ways in thinking of Me, offer obeisances and worship Me.” (Be. 9.34)
Anyone can always think of Krsna, without difficulties or obstacles.
This is called krsna-bhavandmrta. One who is absorbed in krsna-
bhavandmrta has no material benefits to ask from Krsna. Instead, such a
person prays to the Lord for the benediction of being able to spread His
glories all over the world. Mama janmani janmanisvare bhavatad
bhaktir ahaituki tvayi. A Krsna conscious person does not even want to
stop his cycle of birth and death. He simply prays, “I may take birth as
You like, but my only prayer is that I may be engaged in Your service.”
