The devotees of the Lord constantly discuss the glories of the Personality

of Godhead among themselves. Thus they constantly remember the Lord and

remind one another of His qualities and pastimes. In this way, by their

devotion to the principles of bhakti-yoga, the devotees please the

Personality of Godhead, who takes away from them everything inauspicious.

Being purified of all impediments, the devotees awaken to pure love of

Godhead, and thus, even within this world, their spiritualized bodies

exhibit symptoms of transcendental ecstasy, such as standing of the bodily

hairs on end.
