मनोदूत - कृष्ण भक्ति

अविद्येयं विद्या भवति भगवद्भक्तिरहिता
    न चेद्विष्णोः प्रेम प्रसृमरमहानंदमहिता ।
न तावच्चांचल्यं त्यजति च मनोवृत्ति विहगी
    न यावच्छ्रीकृष्णस्मरणरससिंधौ निपतति ॥

- मनोदूत

avidyA iyam vidyA bhavati bhagavat bhakti rahitA
    na chet viShNoH prema prasRumara mahAnanda mahitA ।
na tAvat chAnchalyam tyajati cha manovRutti vihagI
    na yAvat shrI kRuShNa smaraNa rasa sindhau nipatati ॥

- manodUta

Any knowledge is not knowledge if it does not give you happiness of being in love with God. One will not get eternal happiness if he is not in love with Vishnu. Unless the bird (our mind) immerses itself in the river (of bhakti), it will not leave its restlessness.
