The bhakti means more realization of God and forgetting this, all this nonsense. That is bhakti. That is the test of bhakti: how much you have become disinterested with this material advancement. That is bhakti, advancement of bhakti.

That is bhakti, advancement of bhakti. And the . . . Caitanya Mahāprabhu therefore says, niṣkiñcanasya. At last, when we'll feel that, "Now I am dispossessed of all this material nonsense," then you make progress. And so long you'll feel "I have got this, I have got that, I am in possession of this, I . . ." that means your material disease is continuing. When you'll feel that, "I do not have anything material," that is the beginning of Bhāgavata-dharma.
