Sound Bhakti

Kṛṣṇa has this inclination: He is ready to pour out mercy unlimitedly to any personality. We find the key here in Prahlāda Mahārāja, that if one imbibes this mood of service for service, then that's the moment we feel satisfied, but that's also the moment Kṛṣṇa takes notice of us and unleashes an ocean of mercy into our lives. For devotees who realize that this is our eternal relationship, they can't do enough at every second to give to Kṛṣṇa, because ātmānaṁ akhilātmanāṁ—the principle is, He's the soul of our soul. So, it's a practical realization in the end to know the science: sarvopādhi-vinirmuktaṁ tat-paratvena nirmalam hṛṣīkeṇa hṛṣīkeśa- sevanaṁ bhaktir ucyate This is called devotional service (bhakti) when you realize that my senses actually belong to Kṛṣṇa, and everything else belongs to Kṛṣṇa, and therefore I'll use everything in His service. And in the process, we purify our senses. Also, Kṛṣṇa gives us His unlimited mercy, and it never stops; it keeps increasing. --------------------------------
