This bhakti is spiritual activity. Because Kṛṣṇa says, bhaktyā prayacchati. If you offer something, Kṛṣṇa, "Kṛṣṇa, I have brought a very palatable dish. You take it," oh, Kṛṣṇa will not take it. Nāhaṁ prakāśaḥ sarvasya yogamāyā-samāvṛtaḥ ([[Vanisource:BG 7.25 (1972)|BG 7.25]]). He's not exposed to everyone. It is not possible. You cannot serve Kṛṣṇa if you are not a devotee.

Therefore Kṛṣṇa says, yo me bhaktyā prayacchati. That is the real thing, bhaktyā. Not that, "I have brought a nice plate, and Kṛṣṇa will accept." Not like that. Kṛṣṇa can accept when you offer something—it doesn't matter what it is, it may be a simple flower, a fruit, a . . . a small piece of leaf or little water. This is universal. For worshiping Kṛṣṇa, there is no impediment. If you want to worship other demigod, there are so many things required. But for worshiping Kṛṣṇa the poorest man in the world, any part of the world, he can offer his love, his offering to Kṛṣṇa. Patraṁ puṣpaṁ phalaṁ toyaṁ yo me bhaktyā prayacchati ([[Vanisource:BG 9.26 (1972)|BG 9.26]]).

So . . . so real purpose of this Bhakti-rasāmṛta-sindhu by Rūpa Gosvāmī, which we have translated by the name Nectar of Devotion, "The Complete Science . . . the Complete Science of Bhakti-yoga," this is very important book of understanding how to become purified in devotional service, how to approach Kṛṣṇa, how to satisfy Kṛṣṇa. These things are described very nicely. And Kṛṣṇa, being Supreme—He's Supersoul—we cannot approach with our material consciousness. Therefore the consciousness has to be changed. Then we can approach Kṛṣṇa. That is Kṛṣṇa consciousness movement.

Unless we change our consciousness . . . just like, without being fire, you cannot enter into fire. In the śāstra says without being Brahman, you cannot approach Brahman. Similarly, without being purified of all material contamination, you cannot approach Kṛṣṇa. Hṛṣīkeṇa hṛṣīkeśa. How . . . what kind of hṛṣīka, senses? Sarvopādhi-vinirmuktam tat-paratvena nirmalam ([[Vanisource:CC Madhya 19.170|CC Madhya 19.170]]). The senses are to be purified. Tat-paratvena. Tat-paratvena means being always attached with Kṛṣṇa.
