That most exalted devotee, Mahārāja Bharata, in this way engaged constantly in the devotional service of the Lord. Naturally his love for Vāsudeva, Kṛṣṇa, increased more and more and melted his heart. Consequently he gradually lost all attachment for regulative duties. The hairs of his body stood on end, and all the ecstatic bodily symptoms were manifest. Tears flowed from his eyes, so much so that he could not see anything. Thus he constantly meditated on the reddish lotus feet of the Lord. At that time, his heart, which was like a lake, was filled with the water of ecstatic love. When his mind was immersed in that lake, he even forgot the regulative service to the Lord.
Purport
When one is actually advanced in ecstatic love for Kṛṣṇa, eight transcendental, blissful symptoms are manifest in the body. Those are the symptoms of perfection arising from loving service to the Supreme Personality of Godhead. Since Mahārāja Bharata was constantly engaged in devotional service, all the symptoms of ecstatic love were manifest in his body.

Translation
He became lax in his duties as his heart melted because of the ever-increasing, intense attraction for the Lord through his constant service. His hairs stood on end because of joy. Tears produced by longing for the Lord flowed from his eyes out of affection. His intelligence was immersed in the lake of his heart, filled with the highest bliss through bhakti-yoga by intense meditation on the red feet of the Lord who bestows prema.
He had no enthusiasm to perform daily duties because his heart was melted with affection for the Lord. The hairs on his body (ātmani) stood on end. His intelligence was submerged in the lake in his heart which was deep with the nectar of great joy spread everywhere (paripluta).

Personal Guidance
Real devotion expresses itself in the body — tears, gooseflesh, melted heart. These ecstatic symptoms are not performance; they are evidence that love has crossed from theory into reality. Welcome them when they arise; never fake them when they don't.
Reflection Questions
- Where in your devotional life has feeling actually softened into spontaneous tears or chills — and what triggered it?
- Where might you be performing ecstasy you do not feel, instead of waiting honestly for it to arise?
