No Bliss Is Higher Than Devotional Emotions
“All the incarnations are entitled to the emotions of devotees. There is no higher bliss than this.”
What the purport teaches
- All the different incarnations of Lord Viṣṇu have the right to descend as devotees and serve Lord Kṛṣṇa.
- When an incarnation sets aside the understanding of His Godhood and plays a servant’s part, He tastes greater transcendental sweetness than in the role of the Supreme Personality of Godhead.
- The emotions of devotees offer the highest bliss; there is no higher happiness than this.
