"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." |

That was the position of Prahlada Maharaja. He was seeing always God,
Krsna, but his father was not seeing because he was atheist. He was
asking, challenging, "Where is your God? You are talking of so many
times God. All right, I shall teach you a lesson today." So he took his
sword and wanted to kill his own son. Atheist is so unkind, cruel, that
he is prepared to kill his own son, beloved son, five years old. That is
atheism. And theism, the father who tortured him so much. So after the
death of his father, he's praying to Nrsimhadeva, "Please excuse my
father." This is theism. So that is the difference between Krsna
consciousness and ordinary consciousness. They're very kind, everyone.
Vancha kalpatarubhyas ca krpa-sindhubhya eva ca. You utter this prayer,
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. [Nrsimha-caturdasi Lord Nrsimhadeva's Appearance Day Boston, May 1, 1969]

Dear Prabhu's please accept my humble obeisances. All glories to Srila Prabhupada. Please forgive my offenses. I humbly request you to send any quotes from Srila Prabhupada which describe his transcendental qualities and pastimes. In this way together we may be able to compile a book for his glorification and our meditation on his exalted personality. Thankyou. Your servant Mukunda dasa.
