Bhagavan's Mercy

[Guest guest]

Valmiki ramayan Yuddha-khanda 18.33:

 

'It is My vow that if one only once seriously surrenders unto Me, saying "My dear Lord, from this day I am Yours," and prays to Me for courage, I shall immediately award courage to that person, and he will always remain safe from that time on.

 

CC Adi 3.104

Sri Krsna, who is very affectionate toward His devotees, sells Himself to a devotee who offers Him merely a tulasi leaf and a palmful of water

 

CC Adi 5.208

Because He is intoxicated by ecstatic love and is an incarnation of mercy, He does not distinguish between the good and the bad

 

Adi 7.23

in distributing love of Godhead, Caitanya Mahäprabhu and His associates did not consider who was a fit candidate and who was not, nor where such distribution should or should not take place. They made no conditions. Wherever they got the opportunity, the members of the Panca-tattva distributed love of Godhead

 

Adi 7.145

The Supreme Lord, who is greater than the greatest, becomes submissive to even a very insignificant devotee because of his devotional service. It is the beautiful and exalted nature of devotional service that the infinite Lord becomes submissive to the infinitesimal living entity because of it. In reciprocal devotional activities with the Lord, the devotee actually enjoys the transcendental mellow of devotional service

 

Adi 8.21

Sri Caitanya Mahäprabhu, as the Supreme Personality of Godhead Himself, is fully independent. Therefore, although it is the most confidentially stored benediction, He can distribute love of Godhead to anyone and everyone without consideration

 

Adi 17.226

This is the incident concerning the Kazi and the Lord’s mercy upon him. Anyone who hears this is also freed from all offenses

 

Adi 17.264

I must certainly deliver all these fallen souls who blaspheme Me and do not offer Me obeisances

 

Madhya 1.30

In this way, Srila Nityananda Prabhu introduced the cult of Sri Caitanya Mahäprabhu to everyone without discrimination. Even though the people were fallen souls and blasphemers, they were delivered by this process

 

Madhya 12.29: "Although You are the Supreme Personality of Godhead and are completely independent, still You are dependent on the love and affection of Your devotees. That is Your nature."

 

Madhya 15.1: While Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu was taking prasadam at the house of Sarvabhauma Bhattacarya, Amogha criticized Him. Still, the Lord accepted Amogha, thereby showing how much He was obliged to His devotees.

 

Madhya 17.75: "Krishna is an ocean of mercy. He is especially merciful to the poor and fallen. Without His mercy, there is no possibility of happiness."

 

Madhya 20.62: Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu continued, "My dear Sanatana, please hear from Me. Krishna is very merciful, and He is the deliverer of all fallen souls.

 

Madhya 24.195: "'The power of these five principles is very wonderful and difficult to understand. Even without faith in them, a person who is offenseless can awaken his dormant love of Krishna simply by being a little connected with them.'

 

Madhya 24.196: "If a person is actually liberal and intelligent, he can advance and become perfect in devotional service even if he has material desires and serves the Lord with some motive

 

Madhya 24.205: "Everyone is eligible to receive Krishna's mercy -- including Vyasadeva, the four Kumaras, Sukadeva Gosvami, lowborn creatures, trees, plants and beasts. By Krishna's mercy they are elevated and engaged in His service.

 

Tulsi Ramayan Uttar Khand 129.4.1-3:

 

Listen, my stupid soul: who has not been saved by adoring Sri Rama, the purifier of the fallen? The harlot (Pingala), Ajamila, the hunter (Valmiki), the vulture (Jatayu), the elephant and many other wretches have been delivered by Him. Even Abhiras (a hilly tribe inhabiting the south-west coast in the ancient times), Yavanas, Kiratas (Bhilas), Khasas (another hill-tribe found in Assam), Candalas (the pariah) and others, the very embodiments of grievous sin, are hallowed by merely uttering Your name even once : I adore You, O Rama

 

Uttar Khand 122.4

Ponder in your heart, Garuda, and see for yourself whether I am competent in anyway to worship the Hero of Raghu’s line. The vilest of birds and impure in everyway as I was, the Lord has made me known as a purifier of the world.

 

123.A

Though vile in everyway, I am blessed, most blessed today, in that Sri Rama has acknowledged me as one of His own servants and therefore vouchsafed to me the fellowship of a saint (like you).

 

123.4

Yogis (mystics), and valiant heroes, great ascetics and wise men, pious souls and men of erudition and even men who have realized the Self—none of these can cross the ocean of mundane existence without adoring my lord, Sri Rama, to whom I bow again and agan and yet again. I bow once more to that imperishable Lord by approaching whom for shelter even sinful souls like me get purified.

 

CC Antya 1.108: "The Supreme Personality of Godhead, who is known as Purusottama, the greatest of all persons, has a pure mind. He is so gentle that even if His servant is implicated in a great offense, He does not take it very seriously. Indeed, if His servant renders some small service, the Lord accepts it as being very great. Even if an envious person blasphemes the Lord, the Lord never manifests anger against him. Such are His great qualities

 

CC Antya 10.1: Let me offer my respectful obeisances unto Lord Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu, who is always pleased to accept anything given with faith and love by His devotees and is always ready to bestow mercy upon them.

 

Antya 10.18: Since Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu is the Supreme Personality of Godhead, He extracts the purpose from everything. He accepted Damayanti's affection for Him, and therefore He derived great pleasure even from the dried bitter leaves of sukuta and from kasandi [a sour condiment].

SB 2.4.18: Kirata, Huna, Andhra, Pulinda, Pulkasa, Abhira, Sumbha, Yavana, members of the Khasa races and even others addicted to sinful acts can be purified by taking shelter of the devotees of the Lord, due to His being the supreme power. I beg to offer my respectful obeisances unto Him.

SB 2.4.17: Let me offer my respectful obeisances unto the all-auspicious Lord Sri Krishna again and again because the great learned sages, the great performers of charity, the great workers of distinction, the great philosophers and mystics, the great chanters of the Vedic hymns and the great followers of Vedic principles cannot achieve any fruitful result without dedication of such great qualities to the service of the Lord.
