Niranjana Swami's Quote Of The Day

August 28

So this svarupa shakti, the Lord's internal potency, is coming from the Lord and manifest in the Holy Name and also manifest in the hearts of vaishnavas. Therefore, if we can serve the vaishnavas, we can actually become proper recipients for this svarup shakti to enter into our hearts. Then we get nourishment, we get strength, we get knowledge and we experience some bliss. This is the most blissful engagement. There is nothing more satisfying to the self than to serve the Supreme Lord and to serve the vaishnavas.

Krishna provides him unlimited strength because a devotee knows that it is not his own strength.

So the substance should be there first, and then form will follow.
