"Devotional service is so pure and perfect that once having begun, one is forcibly dragged to ultimate success."
(Nectar of Instruction 3, Purport)
"In a firm relationship with the Lord, the devotee does not give up the Lord's service under any circumstance. As far as the Lord Himself is concerned, if the devotee chooses to leave, the Lord brings him back again, dragging him by the hair."
(Caitanya-caritāmṛta Madhya 15.154, Purport)
