Nectar Drops from Srila Prabhupada
sa vai puṁsāṁ paro dharma
yato bhaktir adhokṣaje
ahaituky apratihatā
yayātmā suprasīdati
(SB 1.2.6)

"This is Bhāgavata religion. That is first-class religion. What is that? Yataḥ, by executing the religious principles, if you develop your love for the Supreme, who is beyond expression of your words and beyond the activities of your mind... Adhokṣaja. This very word is used, adhokṣaja: where your material senses cannot approach. And what kind of that love? Ahaitukī, without any cause. 'O Lord, I love You, God, because You supply me so many nice things. You are order-supplier'. No. Not that sort of love. Without any exchange. That is taught by Caitanya Mahāprabhu, that 'Whatever You do...' Āśliṣya vā pada-ratāṁ pinaṣṭu mām (CC Antya 20.47). "Either You trample me under Your feet or You embrace me... Whatever You like. You make me brokenhearted by not seeing You—that doesn't matter. Still You are my worshipable Lord." That is love."
