How much mercy can you possibly draw from a Vaisnava???

[krsna 3]

 

 

 

 

 

"Vanca-kalpatarubhyas ca krpa-sindhubhya eva ca. Vaisnava is the ocean of mercy. There is no end. As you cannot, I mean to say, draw all the waters from the ocean, it is not possible. Similarly, a Vaisnava, a devotee... ocean of mercy. You can draw from it as much mercy as you like, still, it is full."

 

 

 

(Srila Prabhupada lecture, Boston, 1969)

"It is therefore said, vaisnavera kriya jijna na bhujhaya. A highly advanced Vaisnava lives in such a way that no one can understand what he is or what he was."

His name is Shivajvara. His mother is Svati dasi; I don't know who his father is. He's now in his early 30's, and I think he lives in California. The last time I saw him, his spiritual life seemed to be quite healthy.

[krsna 3]

 

"May the Supreme Personality of Godhead in the form of Lord Sri Caitanya bestow His causeless mercy upon us. His smiling glance at once drives away all the bereavements of the world, and His very words enliven the auspicious creepers of devotion by expanding the leaves. Taking shelter of His lotus feet invokes transcendental love of God at once. Anyone who looks upon His beautiful body or beautiful face becomes freed from all sins and obtains the wealth of love of Godhead."

Srila Bhaktisiddhanta Sarasvati Thakura says that if an observer immediately remembers the holy name of Krishna upon seeing a Vaishnava, that Vaishnava should be considered a maha-bhagavata, a first-class devotee. Such a Vaishnava is always aware of his Krishna conscious duty, and he is enlightened in self-realization. He is always in love with the Supreme Personality of Godhead, KRSNA, and this love is without adulteration. Because of this love, he is always awake to transcendental realization. Because he knows that Krishna consciousness is the basis of knowledge and action, he sees everything as being connected with Krishna. Such a person is able to chant the holy name of Krishna perfectly. Such a maha-bhagavata Vaishnava has the transcendental eyes to see who is sleeping under the spell of maya, and he engages himself in awakening sleeping conditioned beings by spreading the knowledge of Krishna consciousness. He opens eyes that are closed by forgetfulness of Krishna. Thus the living entity is liberated from the dullness of material energy and is engaged fully in the service of the Lord."
