Bhagavad-gita As It Is Lectures

Revatīnandana: "But if one is fortunate enough to come to the point of bhakti-yoga, it is to be understood that he has surpassed all the different yogas."

Prabhupāda: Now, if somebody, instead of crossing the steps, he is given chance of the elevator, within a second he comes to the top. So if somebody says: "Why shall I take advantage of this elevator? I shall go step by step," he can go. But there is chance. If you take this bhakti-yoga, immediately you take the help of the elevator and within a second you are on the hundredth floor. This is the process, direct process. You can go step by step, following all other yoga system, but you can take directly.

Lord Caitanya has recommended that in this age, people are very short-living, they are disturbed, they are full of anxieties. Therefore by His grace, by His causeless mercy, He is giving you the lift immediately, "Come to the bhakti-yoga by chanting Hare Kṛṣṇa." Immediately. You haven't got to wait. Immediately take. That is the special gift of Lord Caitanya.

Therefore Rūpa Gosvāmī prays, offers respect to Lord Caitanya, namo mahā-vadānyāya kṛṣṇa-prema-pradāya te (CC Madhya 19.53):

"Oh, You are the most munificent incarnation, because You are giving directly love of Kṛṣṇa. To attain love of Kṛṣṇa one has to pass through so many steps and stages of yoga system, and You are giving directly. Therefore You are the most munificent." So actually that is the position.
