The words dhīrāḥ sarva-bhāvena do not mean "in whichever way you like." Bhāva is the preliminary condition of love of Godhead.

<div class="quote_verse">
:athāsaktis tato bhāvas</dd><dd>tataḥ premābhyudañcati</dd><dd>sādhakānām ayaṁ premṇaḥ</dd><dd>prādurbhāve bhavet kramaḥ</dd><dd>(Bhakti-rasāmṛta-sindhu 1.4.16)
</div>

The bhāva stage is the final division before one reaches love of Godhead. The word sarva-bhāva means that one can love the Supreme Personality of Godhead in different transcendental modes of mellows, beginning with dāsya, sakhya, vātsalya and mādhurya. In the śānta stage, one is on the border of loving service to the Lord. Pure love of Godhead begins from dāsya and develops to sakhya, vātsalya and then mādhurya. Still, in any of these five mellows one can render loving service to the Supreme Lord. Since our main business is to love the Supreme Personality of Godhead, one can render service from any of the above-mentioned platforms of love.
