Real Appreciation Of Spiritual Life - Prabhupada 0826
760210 - Lecture SB 07.09.03 - Mayapur
The devotional service is nothing material; it is spiritual. So there is nothing impossible, impossible. That is real appreciation of spiritual life. If one thinks that "Prahlāda Mahārāja was only five years old. How he could offer such nice verses in glorifying the Lord?" that is possible. Bhakti does not depend on the age. Bhakti depends on sincerity of service. It is not that because one man is older than me, therefore he will be greater devotee. No. Ahaituky apratihatā (SB 1.2.6). First of all, bhakti must be without any motive, without any motive of personal sense gratification. That is real bhakti. Anyābhilāṣitā-śūnyam (Bhakti-rasāmṛta-sindhu 1.1.11). We have to make all our desires zero.
