Bṛhad-bhāgavatāmṛta Part 2 Chapter 2 Text 217

sadaika-rūpaṁ bahu-rūpam adbhutaṁ
vimukti-saukhyāt pratiyogi tat sukham
harer mahā-bhakti-vilāsa-mādhurī-
bharātmakaṁ tarkyam atad-vidāṁ na hi

TRANSLATION

Devotional happiness is made of the intense sweetness of sporting pastimes in the highest devotional service to the Lord. Persons unfamiliar with this pleasure cannot even imagine what it is like.
