- Eager for the Lord’s Mercy
04.28.09

Every step we take towards the Lord, Srila Prabhupada used to say, He takes ten steps towards us. The Lord is much more eager that we return to Him than we are eager to return!
So therefore He is known as maya moyam, or kripa moya, kripa pracura, karuna pracura. These are repeated in various bhajans, mantras, commentaries.
Now how do we take advantage of that mercy? When someone is very merciful, isn’t is foolish not to take the opportunity of that mercy?
Mercy means, a person wants to help us, we need the help! So who will not take the help? Why should be be proud, “I don’t need any help”…Actually we need it! Without the help we are hopeless case.
And the Lord is willing to extend the help to us. Simply we have to take it!
Especially Sri Sri Nitai Gaur.. they are giving out their mercy without even considering whether we deserve it or not. Simply IF WE WANT IT WE CAN GET IT!
