In the form of sleeping self Bhakti is residing in everybody. Only through pain one can realize presence of Bhakti who always provides loving touch to sleeping self

PURPORT:

How can one see presence of Bhakti within self? It is realized by many many sages that Bhakti is like one sleeping self residing within every body. She is sleeping as long as no pain is felt within one self. But as soon as one feels pain within one's heart Bhakti is aroused. That time one gets Her loving touch and one becomes aware of presence of Bhakti. Thus Bhakti is like mother of every soul who gets up seeing Her child to suffering in pain and crying for Her. Without feeing Her presence within self it is impossible to know the presence of supreme love within us. Thus Bhakti is called mother of sufferers. But the question arises why one should suffer to feel presence of Bhakti and what level? The answer is, Bhakti is not cause of suffering but all causes of suffering one's ignorance about Bhakti. Since one doesn't know that Bhakti is reliever of pain then because of the ignorance, one suffers in this material world. It is like one patient suffering from a acute disease but don't know that doctor is neighbor. As soon as one reaches to doctor, doctor diagnoses the patient and gives proper medicine, the patient gets cured. Similarly, if one living entity knows profoundly that Bhakti is the doctor of suffering soul then as soon as one feels material pain one goes to Bhakti for its remedy. Even without getting any disease one visits doctor for annual checkup as a precaution, similarly one always should check that whether one is always feeling presence of Bhakti within heart. But this supreme knowledge until realized, one can not become aware that Bhakti is only the pain reliever of soul within this material world. One may have doubt seeing other's to die even who is under care of a doctor. But such death is ultimate relief from bodily pain that is acute in nature and unbearable. Similarly, death under care of Bhakti is end of suffering of soul in this material world. It is like one is awaken from sleeping self realizing that one perfect soul is remover of all material suffering that one is Bhakti self. All glory to Bhakti. All glory to Mohaprabhu! All glory to Prabhupada! Hare Krsna! Haribol!
