o devotees! Just listen to it – listen to it for all time! Sing it and chant it to your hearts’ delight! Forever meditate and contemplate Śrī Caitanya-caritāmṛtam, the nectarean anthology of the life and teachings of Śrī caitanya, the embodiment of the awakening of ecstatic consciousness through śrī kṛṣṇa-kīrtana (from end of Knowledge and Feeling by Bhakti Saranga Goswami Maharaj)

["Anyone
who has taken shelter of the lotus feet of Mukunda, the giver of
liberation, giving up all kinds of obligation, and has taken to the path
in all seriousness, owes neither duties nor obligations to the
demigods, sages, general living entities, family members, humankind or
forefathers." Such obligations are automatically fulfilled by
performance of devotional service to the Supreme Personality of
Godhead." SB 11.5.41 suggested by Lavanga Manjari Didi from the Sraddha verse

ŚB 4.20.25
स उत्तमश्लोक महन्मुखच्युतो
भवत्पदाम्भोजसुधा कणानिल: ।
स्मृतिं पुनर्विस्मृततत्त्ववर्त्मनां
कुयोगिनां नो वितरत्यलं वरै: ॥ २५ ॥
sa uttamaśloka mahan-mukha-cyuto
bhavat-padāmbhoja-sudhā kaṇānilaḥ
smṛtiṁ punar vismṛta-tattva-vartmanāṁ
kuyogināṁ no vitaraty alaṁ varaiḥ
Translation
My
dear Lord, You are glorified by the selected verses uttered by great
personalities. Such glorification of Your lotus feet is just like
saffron particles. When the transcendental vibration from the mouths of
great devotees carries the aroma of the saffron dust of Your lotus feet,
the forgetful living entity gradually remembers his eternal
relationship with You. Devotees thus gradually come to the right
conclusion about the value of life. My dear Lord, I therefore do not
need any other benediction but the opportunity to hear from the mouth of
Your pure devotee.

CC Madhya 19.149
kṛṣṇa-bhakta — niṣkāma, ataeva ‘śānta’
bhukti-mukti-siddhi-kāmī — sakali ‘aśānta’
“Because a devotee of Lord Kṛṣṇa is desireless, he is peaceful. Fruitive workers desire material enjoyment, jñānīs desire liberation, and yogīs desire material opulence; therefore they are all lusty and cannot be peaceful.

SB 10.14.8
tat te 'nukampāṁ su-samīkṣamāṇo
bhuñjāna evātma-kṛtaṁ vipākam
hṛd-vāg-vapurbhir vidadhan namas te
jīveta yo mukti-pade sa dāya-bhāk
My dear Lord, one who earnestly waits for You to bestow Your causeless mercy upon him, all the while patiently suffering the reactions of his past misdeeds and offering You respectful obeisances with his heart, words and body, is surely eligible for liberation, for it has become his rightful claim.

But when one is freed from such a concept of life, he is no longer subjected to designations, and he envisions everything as spiritual in connection with the Supreme Lord. This is explained by Śrīla Rūpa Gosvāmī in his Bhakti-rasāmṛta-sindhu (1.2.255):
anāsaktasya viṣayān
yathārham upayuñjataḥ
nirbandhaḥ kṛṣṇa-sambandhe
yuktaṁ vairāgyam ucyate
The liberated person has no attachment for anything material or for sense gratification. He understands that everything is connected with the Supreme Personality of Godhead and that everything should be engaged in the service of the Lord. Therefore he does not give up anything. There is no question of renouncing anything because the paramahaṁsa knows how to engage everything in the service of the Lord. Originally everything is spiritual; nothing is material. In the Caitanya-caritāmṛta (Madhya 8.274) also it is explained that a mahā-bhāgavata, a highly advanced devotee, has no material vision:
sthāvara-jaṅgama dekhe, nā dekhe tāra mūrti
sarvatra haya nija iṣṭa-deva-sphūrti
Although he sees trees, mountains, and other living entities moving here and there, he sees all as the creation of the Supreme Lord and, with reference to the context, sees only the creator and not the created. In other words, he no longer distinguishes between the created and the creator. He sees only the Supreme Personality of Godhead in everything. He sees Kṛṣṇa in everything and everything in Kṛṣṇa. This is oneness.
Purport 4.22.28

tyaktvā sva-dharmaṁ caraṇāmbujaṁ harer
bhajann apakvo 'tha patet tato yadi
yatra kva vābhadram abhūd amuṣya kiṁ
ko vārtha āpto 'bhajatāṁ sva-dharmataḥ
(Bhāg. 1.5.17)
Quoted in Purport to SB 4.22.38

SB 2.3.24
tad aśma-sāraṁ hṛdayaṁ batedaṁ
yad gṛhyamāṇair hari-nāma-dheyaiḥ
na vikriyetātha yadā vikāro
netre jalaṁ gātra-ruheṣu harṣaḥ
Certainly that heart is steel-framed which, in spite of one's chanting the holy name of the Lord with concentration, does not change when ecstasy takes place, tears fill the eyes and the hairs stand on end.
Quoted in HoK.4
-----
puṁsaḥ svārthaḥ paraḥ smṛtaḥ
—
in this material world
;
—
the real self-interest
;
—
unalloyed devotional service
;
—
seeing the relationship with Govinda, Kṛṣṇa
.
In this material world, to render service to the lotus feet of Govinda, the cause of all causes, and to see Him everywhere, is the only goal of life. This much alone is the ultimate goal of human life, as explained by all the revealed scriptures.

From purport.to SB 4.30.19
As stated by Bhaktisiddhānta Sarasvatī Gosvāmī Mahārāja:
kṛṣṇa-bhajane yāhā haya anukūla
viṣaya baliyā tyāge tāhā haya bhūla
“If one is so expert that he can engage everything or dovetail everything in the service of the Lord, to give up the material world would be a great blunder.” One should learn how to dovetail everything in the service of the Lord, for everything is connected to Kṛṣṇa. That is the real purpose of life and secret of success.
