PURPORT

If one is purified by following Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu’s orders-that is, by chanting the holy name of Krsna-one must certainly be eager to render service to the Lord.

This is the test.

When one engages enthusiastically in the Lord’s service, it is to be understood that he is reaping the results of chanting the names of Krsna and Hari.
