durāpā hy alpa-tapasaḥ sevā vaikuṇṭha-vartmasu yatropagīyate nityaṁ deva-devo janārdanaḥ
Translation
Persons whose austerity is meager can hardly obtain the service of the pure devotees who are progressing on the path back to the kingdom of Godhead, the Vaikuṇṭhas. Pure devotees engage one hundred percent in glorifying the Supreme Lord, who is the Lord of the demigods and the controller of all living entities.
