The instant one thinks about or plans for sense gratification, one experiences dissatisfaction.
On the other hand, when one thinks about or plans for devotional service, one at once experiences satisfaction.
Bhaktivinoda Thakura writes that when one simply accepts oneself as an eternal servant of Krishna all one’s miseries are vanquished.
One who develops a penchant for service to Krishna surpasses even the stage of liberation.
“Bhakti, the inclination to serve the Supreme Personality of Godhead, is in a transcendental position far better than mukti, or liberation. Thus bhakti is the stage after liberation.” (SB 3.25.32; purport)
