Poṣaṇa· The Lord's protectionExpanding Service Through the Lord’s Mercy
“Since you have desired to increase the population innumerably and expand your varieties of service, you shall never be deprived in this matter because My causeless mercy upon you will always increase for all time.”
What the purport teaches
- A pure devotee desires to increase the number of the Lord’s devotees, considering the time, object and circumstances.
- Plans for expanding devotional service may appear material, but they are different in potency because they satisfy the Supreme Lord’s transcendental senses.
- The Lord assures Brahmā that His causeless mercy will always increase, supporting these varieties of service.
