Verse 1.6.34

Bengali text, Devanagari and Unicode transliteration of verse 1.6.34:

কৃষ্ণ-কৃপা হৈলে এমন বুদ্ধি হয দাস বিনু অন্যের এ বুদ্ধি কভু নয ॥ ৩৪ ॥

कृष्ण-कृपा हैले एमन बुद्धि हय दास विनु अन्येर ए बुद्धि कभु नय ॥ ३४ ॥

kṛṣṇa-kṛpā haile emana buddhi haya dāsa vinu anyera e buddhi kabhu naya || 34 ||

krsna-krpa haile emana buddhi haya dasa vinu anyera e buddhi kabhu naya (34)

English translation:

(34) When one is blessed by Kṛṣṇa he receives the intelligence to engage in devotional service. Unless one is a servant of the Lord he cannot have such intelligence.

Commentary: Gauḍīya-bhāṣya by Śrīla Bhaktisiddhānta Sarasvatī Ṭhākura:

Kṛṣṇa as the Supersoul appears in the hearts of the living entities as the instructing spiritual master within to inspire one to serve the Supreme Lord. The living entities prove their intelligence by accepting that mercy of the Lord. No one other than the eternal servant of the Supreme Lord can ever exhibit such a service attitude. Another reading for the second line of this verse is yā’re kṛpā haya tāna, sei se jānaya—“Only one who

is favored by the mercy of the Lord can understand Him.”
