| Nectar Drops from Srila Prabhupada |
| "So by devotional service one should not expect, 'My miserable material condition may be improved' or 'I may be liberated from this material entanglement'. So that is also a kind of sense gratification. If I want that 'Let me be free from this entanglement...' Just like the yogis and the jñānīs, they try. They try to be free from this material entanglement. But in the devotional service there is no such desire, because it is pure love. There is no expectation that 'I shall be profited in this way'. No. It is not a profitable commercial business, that 'Unless I get in return something, oh, I shall not practice the devotional service in Kṛṣṇa consciousness'. There is no question of profit." |

| "Kīrtana does not mean that you can describe anything or glorify anything, that will become kīrtana. From grammatical point of view, that may be kīrtana, but according to Vedic scriptures, when you speak of kīrtana, that kīrtana means describing the supreme authority, the Absolute Truth, the Supreme Personality of Godhead. That is called kīrtana." |

| "When our senses are purified, then we can serve Hṛṣīkeśa. Hṛṣīkeṇa hṛṣīkeśa-sevanam. Bhakti means to serve Kṛṣṇa, the master of the senses, by our senses. But these present senses, they cannot be fit for serving Kṛṣṇa. It has to be purified. So how this purification is possible? Sevonmukhe hi jihvādau (Brs. 1.2.234): by engaging oneself in service of the Lord. And the first service begins from the tongue." |
