A devotee is prepared to accept whatever reactions the Lord gives him, and accepts it to be a small token of what he actually deserves. Accepting it, a devotee continues serving the Lord and becomes a bona fide candidate for liberation.

The stage beyond namabhasa is the offenseless stage. At this stage, one experiences pure love of the Supreme Lord. At this stage, the devotee relishes the holy name of the Lord and experiences great
pleasure.

"From namabhasa one can obtain liberation and freedom from the reactions of past sinful life, but it does not situate one on the platform of pure love of Godhead. Liberation and freedom from reaction is only the by-product of chanting the holy name of the Lord, not the ultimate goal. The ultimate goal of chanting is the development of pure love of God.

We should not distinguish one type of suffering as Krishna’s mercy and another type of suffering not to be Krishna’s mercy. We accept all suffering as Krishna’s mercy, and that is how we become Krishna conscious.

Whatever the Lord’s plan may be for us, we must always accept His dealings as mercy: “By the mere fact that the Lord has dealt with me and has not been indifferent to me, this is mercy.” This is the greatest mercy. A devotee should always think in that way, and is therefore always ready to accept any suffering that may come to him as the Lord’s mercy.

We may not always understand the Lord’s plan. Sometimes it is very difficult to understand what plan the Lord has and the way that He deals with us. But one thing we must know is that the Lord’s plan is perfect.

Srila Prabhupada always gives the example that it is the duty of the spiritual master to change the character of the disciple, and therefore, sometimes the spiritual master must take a risk of accepting many disciples for the sake of preaching. In other words, if the spiritual master does not accept risk, what is our hope? What other means do we have for giving up the fruits of our work and becoming purified if the spiritual master will not accept?

The ornaments of a Vaisnava are humility and respect for others. Without that consciousness, we will not be able to chant the holy name of the Lord constantly. We will commit offenses and lose our
taste for chanting the holy name.

When the higher order and purity are present, empowerment is also present. Those who come in contact with the literature of an empowered Vaisnava come in contact with Krishna.

If the devotee speaks according to his realization and purely tries to glorify the Lord, the Lord will accept his intents. That devotee will benefit and become purified by his attempt to glorify the Lord. Nevertheless, we should not be eager to publish books; one should only do so with the blessings of the Vaisnavas.
