The advanced devotee who is inclined to spontaneous loving service should follow the activities of a particular associate of Kṛṣṇa"s in Vṛndāvana. He should execute service externally as a regulative devotee as well as internally from his self-realized position. Thus he should perform devotional service both externally and internally.
