TRANSLATION
" 'My devotees take great care and respect in rendering Me service. They offer obeisances to Me with all their bodily limbs. They worship My devotees and find all living entities related to Me. For Me they engage the entire energy of their bodies. They engage the power of speech in the glorification of My qualities and form. They also dedicate their minds unto Me and try to give up all kinds of material desires. Thus My devotees are characterized.'
These two verses are quoted from Srimad-Bhagavatam (11.19.21-22). They were spoken by the Supreme Personality of Godhead, Lord Krsna, who was answering Uddhava's inquiry about devotional service.
