Srimad-Bhagavatam: Canto 10 - Chapter 1 - Verse 27


Sanskrit:

श्रवणाद् दर्शनाद्ध्यानान्मयि भावोऽनुकीर्तनात् ।न तथा सन्निकर्षेण प्रतियात ततो गृहान् ॥ २७ ॥

ITRANS:

śravaṇād darśanād dhyānānmayi bhāvo ’nukīrtanātna tathā sannikarṣeṇapratiyāta tato gṛhān

Translation:

Transcendental love for Me arises by the devotional processes of hearing about Me, seeing My Deity form, meditating on Me and faithfully chanting My glories. The same result is not achieved by mere physical proximity. So please go back to your homes.

Purport:

Lord Kṛṣṇa is certainly presenting formidable arguments.
