Bhagavata is best described in its own words: rasa. It means "nectar." Nectar here denotes "a kind of joy" which one derives by coming into contact with God in and through his divine sports.
Be brave! Be strong! Be fearless! Once you have taken up the spiritual life, fight as long as there is any life in you. Even though you know you are going to be killed, fight till you are killed. Don't die of fright. Die fighting. Don't go down till you are knocked down.
-Swami Vivekananda
