Krishna...

"Many are the means described for the attainment of the highest good,

such as
love, performance of duty, self-control, truthfulness, sacrifices, gifts,
austerity, charity, vows, observances of moral precepts.

I could name more.

But
of all I could name, verily love is the highest:

love and devotion that make one
forgetful of everything,

love that unites the lover with me.

What indescribable
joys does one find through love of me, the blissful Self!"
