Commentary: Gauḍīya-bhāṣya by Śrīla Bhaktisiddhānta Sarasvatī Ṭhākura:
Due to heaps of pious activities accumulated from many lifetimes one’s propensity for serving Kṛṣṇa is awakened. This is the living entities’ only goal of life in all respects. The word sarvathā means “in all respects.” Another reading for this word is sarvadā, which means “that which bestows all desired perfection.”
