Ātmarama
Mantra
आत्मारामाश्च मुनयो निर्ग्रन्था अप्युरुक्रमे । कुर्वन्त्यहैतुकीं भक्तिमित्थम्भूतगुणो हरिः ॥
ātmārāmāś ca munayo nirgranthā apy urukrame / kurvanty ahaitukīṁ bhaktim ittham-bhūta-guṇo hariḥ
"All different varieties of atmaramas, especially those established on the path of self-realization, though freed from all kinds of material bondage, desire to render unalloyed devotional service unto the Personality of Godhead" (Bhagavatam 1.7.10).
Meaning
The famous atmarama verse of the Srimad-Bhagavatam. Even sages who need nothing in this world are attracted by Hari's qualities and begin to serve Him selflessly. Sri Chaitanya Mahaprabhu explained this verse to Sarvabhauma Bhattacharya and Sanatana Gosvami in many ways: Krishna is so attractive that even liberated souls are drawn to Him.
