Any devotee, any devotee, māṁ ca yo 'vyabhicāreṇa bhakti-yogena yaḥ sevate ([[Vanisource:BG 14.26 (1972)|BG 14.26]]). Any devotee who has unflinching faith on guru and Kṛṣṇa, such devotee, yasya deva parā bhaktir yathā deve tathā gurau (Śvetāśvatara Upaniṣad 6.23), such person, bhakti-yogi. Bhakti-yoga, you cannot . . . without accepting guru there is no possibility of understanding bhakti-yoga. Naiṣāṁ matis tāvad urukramāṅghrim, niṣkiñcanānāṁ pāda-rajo-'bhiṣekam ([[Vanisource:SB 7.5.32|SB 7.5.32]]). Unless one touches the lotus feet of niṣkiñcana vaiṣṇava, there is no question of bhakti-yoga. That is not possible. Naiṣāṁ matis tāvad urukramāṅghrim. Urukramāṅghrim means Kṛṣṇa's lotus feet. One cannot be attached unless he takes the dust of a niṣkiñcana vaiṣṇava. This is the process. So bhakti-yoga . . .

Anyone who is engaged in bhakti-yoga, in real process, he is immediately elevated to the brahma-bhūta stage, transcendental stage. This is material stage, jīva-bhūta stage. I am, when so long I am identifying myself with this body, this is called jīva-bhūta, material life. When I am above this consciousness . . . just like Caitanya Mahāprabhu taught, jīvera svarūpa haya nitya kṛṣṇa-dāsa ([[Vanisource:CC Madhya 20.108-109|CC Madhya 20.108-109]]). When one is firmly convinced that he is eternal servant of Kṛṣṇa and is engaged in His service, Kṛṣṇa confirms, "Yes." Brahmā-bhuyāya kalpate ([[Vanisource:BG 14.26|BG 14.26]]). He immediately is elevated to the brahma-bhūta state.
