Word by word
bhakti vinu — without devotional service; kona — some; sādhana — practice for perfection; dite — to give; nāre — not able; phala — any result; saba phala — all the results of different processes; deya — give; bhakti — devotional service; sva-tantra — independent; prabala — and powerful.
Translation
“The other processes cannot yield results unless they are associated with devotional service. Devotional service, however, is so strong and independent that it can give one all the desired results.”
