"If the mati, the consciousness, can be kṛṣṇa-bhakti-rasa-bhāvita, completely saturated with kṛṣṇa-bhakti-rasa, if this is available anywhere, one must purchase it without delay."
Kuto 'pi means wherever it is. Don't let anything, any obstacle, any opinion or what anyone says come in the way. One may ask: is there a price, how much does it cost? There is only one price — greed. It will not come by pious activities for ten million births — janma-koṭi-sukṛti. Nor will it come by only following the rules of vaidhī-bhakti for ten million births. Greed to taste the sweetness of Kṛṣṇa's pastimes is the one payment accepted here.
Ask the Name for this greed — it takes no other payment.
