VEDIC THOUGHT

 

" In the beginning there must be faith. Then one becomes interested in

associating with pure devotees. Thereafter one is initiated by the

spiritual master and executes the regulative principles under his

orders. Thus one is freed from all unwanted habits and becomes firmly

fixed in devotional service. Thereafter, one develops taste and

attachment. This is the way of sadhana-bhakti, the execution of

devotional service according to the regulative principles. Gradually

emotions intensify, and finally there is an awakening of love. This is

the gradual development of love of Godhead for the devotee interested

in Krishna Consciousness. "

 

 

(Rupa Goswami - Caitanya Caritamrta 23.14-15)
