Lord Kalipadeva, by Haripada dasa
The first thing we have to understand and accept in the spiritual life is that we are not this temporary material body but eternal spiritual souls, loving and eternal servants of God or Krishna and His devotees. This is called self-realization or knowing oneself, the process of Krishna consciousness is the practice of spiritual activities that transfer us from the material world to the spiritual world, these transcendental activities are authorized by God or Krishna and by His pure devotees and by the revealed scriptures such as Bhagavad-gita, Srimad-Bhagavatam, The Nectar of Devotion, etc., when one practices devotional service this devotional service may not be pure but contaminated by ignorance, passion and kindness, that is why it is very interesting that in Srimad Bhagavatam in the third chant, chapter 29, an incarnation of Krishna called Lord Kapiladeva explains these contaminations and also informs us about pure devotional service without contamination, in Srimad Bhagavatam, third song, chapter 29, entitled Lord Kapiladeva explains devotional service, verses 8, 9 and 10 explain the devotional service ional polluted by ignorance, passion and kindness, and in verses 11-12 pure devotional service is explained without mixtures, these are the verses: The devotional service performed by an envious person, proud, violent and angry, and be separatist, it is considered under the modality of darkness. The worship of Deities in the temple carried out by a separatist, whose motivation is material enjoyment, fame and opulence, is devotion in the form of passion. The devotion of the devotee who worships the Supreme Personality of Godhead and offers Him the results of his activities seeking freedom from the drunkenness of fruitive activities is in the mode of goodness. Unalloyed devotional service manifests itself when the devotee's mind is attracted as soon as he hears the name and the transcendental qualities of the Supreme Personality of Godhead, which resides in the hearts of all. Like the water of the Ganges, which naturally flows into the sea, this devotional ecstasy flows to the Supreme Lord without any material conditioning impeding it.
In the Nectar of devotion, chapter 2, it is said that the three categories of devotional service that Śrīla Rūpa Gosvāmī describes in Bhakti-rasāmṛta-sindhu are known as devotional service in practice, devotional service in state of ecstasy and devotional service in state of pure love for God.
