Recognizing the Lord’s Saving Mercy
“Raghunātha dāsa answered within his mind, “I do not know who Kṛṣṇa is. I simply know that Your mercy, O my Lord, has saved me from my family life.””
What the purport teaches
- Raghunātha dāsa answered within his mind rather than speaking aloud.
- He humbly said that he did not know who Kṛṣṇa was. He simply knew that the Lord’s mercy had saved him.
- He credited his deliverance from family life to the Lord’s mercy, not to his own efforts.
