According to Srimad Bhagavatam, what is bhakti-yoga?

Srimad Bhagavatam, 3.29.12-14 states that bhakti is devotional service rendered to Bhagawan with utmost love. Bhaktas have no wants or desires other than serving Bhagawan's lotus feet. A bhakta, even if offered the five forms of liberation- salokya, sameepya, saroopya, sarshti, and sayujya would prefer serving the lotus feet over any of them. Bhagavatam describes this as the highest spiritual pursuit in life, called bhakti-yoga.
