Significado

Devotional service to Lord Krishna is so pleasing that a pure devotee cannot desire anything except service to the Lord. In the Tenth Canto of Srimad-Bhagavatam, Lord Krishna told the gopis that they would have to accept their own service as the ultimate reward of their devotion to Him, since nothing awards as much happiness and knowledge as devotional service itself. When one sincerely chants and hears the holy name and fame of Lord Krishna, the heart is purified ad gradually one can appreciate the actual, blissful nature of Krishna consciousness, loving service to the Lord.
