Nectar Drops from Srila Prabhupada
"So our bhakti process is not to try to see God personally. Just like the karmīs, they challenge, 'If we can see eye to eye, God?' No. That is not our process. Our process is different. Just like Caitanya Mahāprabhu teaches us, āśliṣya vā pāda-ratāṁ pinaṣṭu māṁ marma-hatāṁ karotu vā adarśanān (CC Antya 20.47). Every devotee likes to see, but Caitanya Mahāprabhu teaches that 'Even if You make me broken-hearted, not being seen for life or perpetually, it doesn't matter. Still, You are my worshipable Lord'. That is pure devotee. Just like there is a song, 'My dear Lord, please appear before me, dancing with Your flute'. This is not devotion. This is not devotion. People may think, 'Oh, how great devotee he is, asking Kṛṣṇa to come before him, dancing'. That means ordering Kṛṣṇa. A devotee does not order anything or ask anything from Kṛṣṇa, but he loves only. That is the pure love."
