Therefore they have also demand. Muktis, the jñānīs, they have also demand; the karmīs also have the demand. But the bhaktas... Just like Caitanya Mahāprabhu. We accept Caitanya Mahāprabhu as the ideal bhakta. He's teaching us how to become exceptionally perfect devotee. So He says in His Śikṣāṣṭaka, na dhanaṁ na janaṁ na sundarīṁ kavitāṁ vā jagad-īśa kāmaye [Cc. Antya 20.29, Śikṣāṣṭaka 4]. "I do not want riches," na dhanam. Na janam, "I do not want number of followers." Na dhanaṁ na janaṁ na kavitāṁ vā jagad-īśa kāmaye. "I do not want very beautiful, nice, poetic wife." Mama janmani janmanīśvare. Janmani janmani means He does not want even liberation, because when there is liberation, there is no question of janmani janmani. So He says, mama janmani janmani īśvare bhavatād bhaktir ahaitukī tvayi. So this is the sample of pure devotee. A pure devotee does not want even liberation. Dīyamānaṁ na gṛhṇanti. If liberation is offered to a devotee, he does not want it. He'll refuse to accept it. He is satisfied only in the service of the Lord. | | <mp3player>https://vanipedia.s3.amazonaws.com/clip/710324CC-BOMBAY_clip2.mp3</mp3player> |

| | So the ''yogīs'' want these mystic power. Therefore they have also demand. ''Muktīs'', the ''jñānīs'', they have also demand; the ''karmīs'' also have the demand. But the ''bhaktas'' . . . just like Caitanya Mahāprabhu. We accept Caitanya Mahāprabhu as the ideal ''bhakta''. He's teaching us how to become exceptionally perfect devotee. So He says in His ''Śikṣāṣṭaka'': |

| | "I do not want riches," ''na dhanam.'' ''Na janam'', "I do not want number of followers." ''Na dhanaṁ na janaṁ na kavitāṁ vā jagad-īśa kāmaye''. "I do not want very beautiful, nice, poetic wife." ''Mama janmani janmanīśvare''. ''Janmani janmani'' means He does not want even liberation, because when there is liberation, there is no question of ''janmani janmani''.

| | So this is the sample of pure devotee. A pure devotee does not want even liberation. ''Dīyamānaṁ na gṛhṇanti'' ([[Vanisource:SB 3.29.13|SB 3.29.13]]). If liberation is offered to a devotee, he does not want it. He'll refuse to accept it. He is satisfied only in the service of the Lord. |
