bhakti is the highest form of love for God, the nature of which is the nectar of immortality (amṛta);
bhakti means the activity of the senses, freed from all designations and purified by devotion to serve the master of the senses with the senses;
bhakti means devotional service performed with love for the Supreme Personality of Godhead and no one else. To perform pure devotional service, a person must be free from the bodily concept of life and not desire happiness in the heavenly worlds.
bhakti is constant service to Krishna, performed with favor towards Him, without other desires and uncovered by aspirations for liberation, living well in this world, or acquiring various mystic powers;
when, while performing service to the Lord, the melted functions of the mind flow towards Him in abundant streams, these functions of the mind are called bhakti.
