Live Caitanya Caritamrta · CC Ādi 7.24

Sharing spiritual love increases its abundance

“Although the members of the Pañca-tattva plundered the storehouse of love of Godhead and ate and distributed its contents, there was no scarcity, for this wonderful storehouse is so complete that as the love is distributed, the supply increases hundreds of times.”

Śrīla Prabhupāda · Śrī Caitanya Caritamrta Ādi 7.24, translation

What the purport teaches

  • The storehouse of love of Godhead can never be depleted. As the Pañca-tattva tasted and distributed its contents, the supply increased hundreds of times.
  • Actual spiritual consciousness increases the more it is distributed. Even if all living entities wanted to become Kṛṣṇa conscious, there would be no scarcity of love of Godhead or provision for their maintenance.
  • The movement can continue unchecked by material opposition if its members keep to their principles and follow the Pañca-tattva. Those who spread Kṛṣṇa consciousness should therefore not be afraid.
