Commentary: Gauḍīya-bhāṣya by Śrīla Bhaktisiddhānta Sarasvatī Ṭhākura:

In the Bhakti-rasāmṛta-sindhu (1.3.17) it is stated:

sarva-maṅgala-mūrdhanyā pūrṇānanda-mayī sadā dvijendra tava mayy astu bhaktir avyabhicāriṇī

“O King, among the twice-born, may you develop unalloyed devotion to Me, which is the crest-jewel of all auspiciousness and which is full of ecstasy.”

In Śrī Kṛṣṇa-karṇāmṛta (107) it is stated:

bhaktis tvayi sthiratarā bhagavan yadi syād daivena naḥ phalati divya-kiśora-mūrtiḥ muktiḥ svayaṃ mukulitāñjali sevate ‘smān dharmārtha-kāma-gatayaḥ samaya-pratīkṣāḥ

“O my Lord, if one engages in Your pure devotional service with determination, You become visible in Your original transcendental youthful form as the Supreme Personality of Godhead. As far as liberation is concerned, she stands before the devotee with folded hands waiting to render service. Religion, economic development, and sense gratification are all automatically attained without separate endeavor.”
