So therefore in loving dealings, for the devotee who is always anxious to please the Lord, the Lord is always inclined to bestow His mercy upon that devotee. And as we said, that bestowed mercy upon that devotee, we have to be prepared to accept in whatever way, shape or form the Lord will give it to us. That’s how the Lord reciprocates our loving service.

But, as we are BOTH aware, maya is very strong. Without regular doses of Krishna consciousness, we can be swept away into her clutches and not even be aware that it is happening or that it has already happened. In the absence of physical association, execution of instructions (both past and present) become the foundation for protection against maya, of which chanting is of the utmost importance.

Krishna agrees to appear in the words of the devotees who are presenting this transcendental subject matter purely and Srila Prabhupada refers to that also by explaining that Caitanya Caritamrita contains nothing newly manufactured by his tiny brains, but only remnants of food originally eaten by the Lord Himself. This is not a small claim, the remnants of the Supreme Personality of Godhead are considered to be fully potent, nondifferent then the Supreme Lord. and because of the potency of such remnants, even the greatest devotees of the Lord are always seeking these remnants of the Lord.
