When a person is firmly fixed in devotional service to the Supreme Personality of Godhead, he is described as vÄ«ra-vrata, fully determined. Such a devotee increases his ecstasy in devotional service more and more. Thus as soon as he remembers Lord Viṣṇu, his eyes fill with tears. This is a symptom of a mahÄ-bhÄgavata. Dhruva MahÄrÄja maintained himself in that devotional ecstasy, and ÅšrÄ« Caitanya MahÄprabhu also gave us a practical example of transcendental ecstasy when He lived at JagannÄtha PurÄ«. His pastimes there are fully narrated in Caitanya-caritÄmá¹›ta.
