710827 Lecture - Srila Prabhupada Speaks a Nectar Drop in London
| Nectar Drops from Srila Prabhupada |
| "For heaven or hell, it doesn't matter. That is pure devotion. Anyābhilāṣitā-śūnyam (Brs. 1.1.11), without any desire. That is also desire that, "I am going back to home, back to Godhead." But that desire is very highly qualified desire. But a pure devotee does not desire even that. Anyābhilāṣitā-śūnyam (CC Madhya 19.167).
They do not desire . . . what to . . . they do not desire even to go back to Godhead, and what to desire for being elevated or promoted to the heavenly planet. They simply want, "Let me remain wherever Kṛṣṇa desires. I may be engaged in His service." That is pure devotee. That's all." |
