He who strives for liberation is fortunate in this world. He who is intent on devotional service to Lord Hari is more fortunate. He who has spontaneous attraction for Lord Krsna’s lotus feet is more fortunate still. He who is devoted to Lord Krsna as the husband of Rukmini is even more fortunate. He who is devoted to Lord Krsna as the son of Yasoda-devi is still more fortunate. He who is devoted to Lord Krsna as the friend of Subala is even more fortunate. He who is devoted to Lord Krsna as the lover of the gopis is still more fortunate. A devotee overwhelmed by the nectar of love for Srimati Radharani, the beautiful queen of Vrindavan, is the most fortunate of all.
