"Kṛṣṇa-bhakti-rasa-bhāvitā matiḥ. Matiḥ means intelligence or status of mind, that 'I'll serve Kṛṣṇa'. 'If you can purchase this status of mind anywhere, please immediately purchase.' Then next question will be, 'All right, I shall purchase. What is the price? Do you know?' 'Yes, I know what is the price'. 'What is that price?' Laulyam, 'Simply your eagerness, that's all'. Laulyam ekaṁ mūlyam. 'Ah, that I can have.' No. Na janma koṭibhis sukṛtibhir labhyate (CC Madhya 8.70). This eagerness, how to love Kṛṣṇa, this is not available even after many, many births. So if you have a pinch of that anxiety, 'How I can serve Kṛṣṇa?' you must know you are the most fortunate man. A pinch only, laulya, this anxiety, 'How I can serve Kṛṣṇa?' it is very nice. Then Kṛṣṇa will give you intelligence."
