http://esotericteaching.org

bhakti-rasasya prastutir akhila-jagaṅ-maṅgala-prasaṅgasya |
ajñenāpi mayāsya kriyate suhṛdām pramodāya ||1.1.6||

Although I am ignorant, I have undertaken this work concerning bhakti-rasa related to Kṛṣṇa, who is auspicious for the whole world, for the joy of my friends.

etasya bhagavad-bhakti-rasāmṛta-payonidheḥ |
catvārah khalu vakṣyante bhāgāḥ pūrvādayaḥ kramāt ||1.1.7||

In this sweet ocean of bhakti-rasa offered to the Lord, four sections will be expounded one at a time, starting with the eastern section.

tatra pūrve vibhāgesmin bhakti-bheda-nirūpake |
anukrameṇa vaktavyaṁ laharīṇāṁ catuṣṭayam ||1.1.8||

The Eastern Ocean defines the different types of bhakti. This will be discussed in four successive waves (chapters).

ādyā sāmānya-bhakty-āḍhyā dvitīyā sādhanānvitā |
bhāvāśritā tṛtīyā ca turyā prema-nirūpikā ||1.1.9||

The First Wave of the Eastern Ocean is concerned with bhakti in general. The Second Wave describes sādhana-bhakti. The Third Wave describes bhāva-bhakti. The Fourth Wave describes prema-bhakti.

languageoflight: At 0:45 you mention, that pure bhakti means to not expect any particular result as a return. Is it also a offense to expect Krishnas love as a return out of desire for his eternal love? Or should we rather desire to only serve him and his love will come automatically(so to speak surpress my desire for non material love and think of servitorship instead)
