A Glimpse of Incalculable Mercy
“Gopīnātha Paṭṭanāyaka achieved the result of kingly opulence due to but a glimpse of the Lord’s mercy. Therefore no one can calculate the full value of His mercy.”
What the purport teaches
- Gopīnātha Paṭṭanāyaka received kingly opulence through only a glimpse of the Lord’s mercy.
- Such great outward results are described as coming from merely a glimpse, not the full measure of His mercy.
- Therefore, no one can calculate the full value of the Lord’s mercy.
