| "Six principles will increase your devotional service. The first principle is utsāhāt. Utsāhāt means "Enthusiasm." One must be determined that, "This life I shall not die like cats and dogs. This life I shall die in such a way that immediately I go to Kṛṣṇa." That is stated in the . . . tyaktvā dehaṁ punar janma naiti (BG 4.9). This generally transmigration takes place in so many different varieties of life, but one who has perfected his devotional life, he immediately, after death, he goes to Kṛṣṇa. Tyaktvā dehaṁ punar janma naiti mām eti. So this is the determination, that this life. That is called utsāhāt, enthusiasm. One should be very much enthused, "Oh, I am going to Kṛṣṇa, in the spiritual world." How much enthusiasm you should feel. So that is utsāhāt."
