krsna Posted September 16, 2005 Report Share Posted September 16, 2005 nalam dvijatvam devatvam rsitvam vasuratmajah prinanaya mukundasya na vrttam na bahu jnata na danam na tapo nejya na saucam na vratani ca priyate 'malaya bhaktya harir anyad vidambanam <font color="blue"> My dear friends, O sons of the demons, you cannot please the Supreme Personality of Godhead by becoming perfect brahmanas, demigods or great saints or by becoming perfectly good in etiquette or vast learning. None of these qualifications can awaken the pleasure of the Lord. Nor by charity, austerity, sacrifice, cleanliness or vows can one satisfy the Lord. The Lord is pleased only if one has unflinching, unalloyed devotion to Him. Without sincere devotional service, everything is simply a show. </font color> (Srimad Bhagavatam 7.7.51-52) /images/graemlins/blush.gif Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
