Devotee drunkard

Param drstva nivartate [Bg 2.59]. Not by force, but appreciating something better condition of life, one rejects all this nonsense. That is advancement. Bhajana-kriya. By bhajana-kriya, by being initiated and executing the bhajana, now, one just be detestful. Then nistha. Tato nistha, firm faith. Tato rucih. Ruci means taste. You cannot do without it. Just like the drunkard: he cannot remain without drinking. Similarly, a devotee is also drunkard. He cannot remain without Krsna consciousness. That is called ruci, taste.

Srila Prabhupada; Srimad-Bhagavatam 3.25.15 — November 15, 1974, Bombay
