Purport (Nectar of Devotion)
Everything in connection with Kṛṣṇa is called ecstatic devotional love, although it may be exhibited in different ways: sometimes in right order and sometimes as a perverted reflection. According to the opinion of all expert devotees, anything that will arouse ecstatic love for Kṛṣṇa is to be taken as an impetus for transcendental mellow.
Thus ends the Bhaktivedanta summary study of Śrī Bhakti-rasāmṛta-sindhu by Śrīla Rūpa Gosvāmī.
