Srila Bhaktisiddhanta Sarasvati

prakrta cestate bhai kabhu rasa haya na jadiya prkrta rasa suddha bhakta gaya na

"O brothers! No material efforts can ever produce the awakening or rasa, factual transcendental mellows. The pure devotee of the Lord never sings the glories of any mundane mellows that are born of the dull material world."

prakrta rasera siksa bhiksa sisye caya na rati bina jei rasa taha guru deya na

"The true disciples never desire to ask their spiritual master for instructions regarding material mellows. the genuine spiritual master never gives his disciples any such material mellows, which are devoid of rati, transcendental loving attachment to the Lord."

nama rasa dui vastu bhakta kabhu jane na nama rase bheda ache, bhakta kabhu bole na

"The Lord's real devotee never knows any difference between the holy name of Krishna and transcendental mellows. Therefore the devotee never says there is a difference between the holy name and the mellows of devotion."
