ভক্তি বিনু কৃষ্ণে কভু নহে প্রেমোদয় ।
প্রেম বিনু কৃষ্ণপ্রাপ্তি অন্য হৈতে নয় ॥

bhakti vinu kṛṣṇe kabhu nahe premodaya |
prema vinu kṛṣṇa-prāpti anya haite naya ||
(Caitanya-caritāmṛta: 3.4.58)

“Without bhakti [i.e., sādhana-bhakti], a manifestation of prema for Kṛṣṇa never occurs, and without prema, attainment of Kṛṣṇa does not occur by means of anything else [i.e., prema is the only means of attaining Kṛṣṇa].”
