Not that “By worshiping Krsna or acting devotional service I shall get this opportunity, this facility,” material or spiritual. A real devotee, he does not aspire even for liberation. He doesn’t want. He simply wants, “My Lord Krsna, wherever I may be, it doesn’t matter. Please keep me always engaged in Your consciousness.” That’s all. A devotee never aspires that he’ll be elevated to the spiritual sky or Vaikuntha or… Never mind. “For thousands and thousands of births I may rot into the hell, but simply I want my Lord, that wherever I may be situated, I may not forget You.” Mama janmani janmanisvare bhavatad bhaktir ahaituki [Cc. Antya 20.29, Siksastaka 4]. Lord Caitanya teaches this. Janmani janmani. Where there is janmani janmani, that means that is not liberation. As soon as you’re liberated, you are not supposed to take birth again. But Caitanya Mahaprabhu says, janmani janmani. He doesn’t aspire about liberation. “Birth after birth, please keep Me engaged in Your devotional service.” That is pure devotion.
