<div class="quote_translation">
“Compared to the ocean of transcendental bliss that one tastes by chanting the Hare Kṛṣṇa mantra, the pleasure derived from impersonal Brahman realization [brahmānanda] is like the shallow water in a canal.
</div>
<div class="text">
In the Bhakti-rasāmṛta-sindhu (1.1.38) it is stated:

<div class="quote_verse">
:brahmānando bhaved eṣa cet parārdha-guṇī-kṛtaḥ 
:naiti bhakti-sukhāmbhodheḥ paramāṇu-tulām api
</div>

“If brahmānanda, the transcendental bliss derived from understanding impersonal Brahman, were multiplied a million times, such a quantity of brahmānanda could not compare with even an atomic portion of the pleasure relished in pure devotional service.”
