<div class="purport text">In the Bhakti-rasāmṛta-sindhu (1.1.38) it is stated:
:brahmānando bhaved eṣa cet parārdha-guṇī-kṛtaḥ
:naiti bhakti-sukhāmbhodheḥ paramāṇu-tulām api
"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."
