Srimad Bhagavatam verse
(10 . 14 . 8)

तत् तेऽनुकम्पां सुसमीक्षमाणो
भुञ्जान एवात्मकृतं विपाकम् ।
हृद्-वाग्-वपुर्भिर् विदधन् नमस्ते
जीवेत यो मुक्ति-पदे स दाय-भाक् ॥

tat te ’nukampaam susameekshamaano
bhunjaana evaatmakritam vipaakam ।
hrid – vaag – vapurbhir vidadhan namaste
jeeveta yo mukti-pade sa daaya-bhaak ॥

In this verse, lord Brahma tells about the devotional consciousness of a surrendered devotee.

The devotee patiently, unsrudgingly endures the fruits of his actions
(भुञ्जान एव आत्म-कृतम् विपाकम्).

The devotee earnestly depends on the grace of sri bhagavan.
(ते अनुकम्पाम् सुसमीक्षमाणः).

The sharanagata (devotee who has taken shelter of bhagavan) offers namaskaaraams to bhagavan through heart, words and body.
(हृद् – वाक् – वपुर्भिः विदधन् नमस्ते).

One who lives in such a manner easily attains moksham without any other endeavour.
(जीवेत यः मुक्ति-पदे सः दाय-भाक्).
