'''Pure love means without any cultivation of knowledge, without any activities of fruitive action, without any desire, simply to love Kṛṣṇa in order to please Him.'''

'''[[Vanisource:Questions and Answers -- September 6, 1968, New York|Questions and Answers -- September 6, 1968, New York]]:'''

Prabhupäda: So just to impress upon the neophyte devotees about the greatness... And those who are advanced devotees, they do not want to see whether Kṛṣṇa is great or small. They simply love Him. That's all. That is pure love. In Vṛndāvana, at least these gopīs, they never saw Kṛṣṇa's any jugglery or any greatness. But they still love, pure love. Pure love means

:anyābhilāśitā-śūnyaṁ
:jñāna-karmādy-anāvṛtam
:ānukūlyena kṛṣṇānu
:śīlanaṁ bhaktir uttamā

[Brs. 1.1.11]

Without any cultivation of knowledge, without any activities of fruitive action, without any desire, simply to love Kṛṣṇa in order to please Him—that is the highest perfectional stage of devotion. There is no consideration "Whether Kṛṣṇa is God or not, whether we are getting benefit or not." "Simply we love Kṛṣṇa." That is the perfectional stage.

'''Pure love means anyābhilāśitā-śūnyaṁ jñāna-karmādy-anāvṛtam [Brs. 1.1.11]. There is no question of knowledge.'''

'''[[Vanisource:Questions and Answers -- September 6, 1968, New York|Questions and Answers -- September 6, 1968, New York]]:'''
