TRANSLATION
" 'When an advanced realized devotee hears about the affairs of the devotees of Vrndavana-in the mellows of santa, dasya, sakhya, vatsalya and madhurya-he becomes inclined in that way, and his intelligence becomes attracted. Indeed, he begins to covet that particular type of devotion. When such covetousness is awakened, one's intelligence no longer depends on the instruction of sastra, revealed scripture, logic or argument.'
