The Devotees Do Not Reject Him
“After this, the other devotees — headed by Nityānanda Prabhu, Jagadānanda, Mukunda and Dāmodara — began to consider a certain plan.”
What the purport teaches
- Nityānanda Prabhu, Jagadānanda, Mukunda and Dāmodara began to consider a plan. Kālā Kṛṣṇadāsa received their mercy.
- Even when someone is rejected by the Supreme Personality of Godhead, the Lord’s devotees do not reject him. The purport therefore describes the devotees as more merciful than the Lord Himself.
- Śrīla Narottama dāsa Ṭhākura teaches that one cannot be freed from material clutches without serving pure devotees. The Lord may sometimes be very hard, but His devotees are always kind.
