Srila Rupa Gosvami, after intensely studying all the devotional scriptures, has made the following conclusive definition of pure devotional service: Giving up all desires for fruitive reward or philosophical jugglery, one should execute favorable devotional service to Krsna for his pleasure only.

śrabaṇa kīrtana smṛti sebārcana dāsya nati sakhya ātma-nibedana hoya sādhana-bhaktira aṅga sādhakera jāhe raṅga sadā sādhu-jana-saṅga-moya

srabana kirtana smrti sebarcana dasya nati sakhya atma-nibedana hoya sadhana-bhaktira anga sadhakera jahe ranga sada sadhu-jana-sanga-moya

श्रबण कीर्तन स्मृति सेबार्चन दास्य नति सख्य आत्मनिबेदन होय साधनभक्तिर अङ्ग साधकेर जाहे रङ्ग सदा साधुजनसङ्गमोय

The divisions of regulated devotional service are: 1) hearing the glories of the Lord, 2) chanting His holy names, 3) remembering Him within the core of the heart, 4) serving His lotus feet, 5) worshiping His Deity form, 6) becoming His menial servant, 7) offering prayers to Him revealing the mind, 8) entering into a friendly relationship with Him, and 9) ultimately surrendering one's whole existence in full dedication by mind, body and words. The practicing neophyte devotees continuously perform all of these nine processes joyfully in the association of saintly persons who are adept in hones devotional dedication.

sādhana-bhaktira bale bhāba-rūpa bhakti-phale tāhā punaḥ prema-rūpa pāya preme jība kṛṣṇa bhaje kṛṣṇa-bhakti-rase māje sei rasa śrī-rūpa śikhāya

sadhana-bhaktira bale bhaba-rupa bhakti-phale taha punah prema-rupa paya preme jiba krsna bhaje krsna-bhakti-rase maje sei rasa sri-rupa sikhaya

साधनभक्तिर बले भाबरूप भक्तिफले ताहा पुनः प्रेमरूप पाय प्रेमे जीब कृष्ण भजे कृष्णभक्तिरसे माजे सेइ रस श्रीरूप शिखाय

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.
