Verse Text

kecid asyā rateḥ kṛṣṇa-bhakty-āsvāda-bahirmukhāḥ | bhavatvam eva niścitya na rasāvasthatāṁ jaguḥ ||139||

Translation

Some persons with no taste for Kṛṣṇa bhakti, on considering dāsya-rati, conclude that it does not reach a state of rasa.

Purport (Nectar of Devotion)

Some persons are reluctant to accept this level of devotional service as actual bhakti-yoga, and in some of the Purāṇas also this servitorship in devotional service to Kṛṣṇa is not accepted as the actual bhakti-yoga system. But Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam has clearly indicated that the servitor relationship with Kṛṣṇa is the actual beginning of yoga realization.
