By the strength of the above-mentioned ninefold practices of regulated devotional service, the devotion thereafter fructifies into an ecstatic emotional service attitude, and after that one reawakens his original pure ecstatic love of Godhead. In such transcendental love, the soul whole-heartedly worships Krsna, constantly immersed in tasting the ecstatic mellows of devotion to Him. This is the delicious mellow that Srila Rupa Gosvami is teaching us about.
