The true nature of pure love of God is beyond description. Nonetheless, from time to time pure love of God is revealed to those who are qualified. Pure love of God manifests as the most subtle consciousness, devoid of material qualities and material desires, increasing at every moment, and never interrupted. Having obtained pure love of God, one looks only at the Lord, hears only about Him, speaks only of Him, and thinks only of Him. Each earlier stage should be considered better than the one following it.
Success is easier to attain by devotional service than by any other process.
The reason devotional service is the easiest of all spiritual processes is that it does not depend on any other authority for its validity, being itself the standard of authority. Furthermore, bhakti is the embodiment of peace and supreme ecstasy. After consigning to the Lord all one's mundane and Vedic duties, one no longer need worry about worldly loss. Even after one has achieved devotional service, one should not abandon one's responsibilities in this world but should rather continue surrendering the results of one's work to the Lord. And while still trying to reach the stage of pure devotion, one must certainly continue executing prescribed duties.
