Chant and Receive Kṛṣṇa’s Mercy
“Therefore, Amogha, get up and chant the Hare Kṛṣṇa mahā-mantra! If you do so, Kṛṣṇa will unfailingly bestow mercy upon you.”
What the purport teaches
- Amogha is urged to rise and chant the Hare Kṛṣṇa mahā-mantra, with the assurance that Kṛṣṇa will unfailingly bestow mercy.
- Brahman, Paramātmā and Bhagavān are three features of the same Absolute Truth. Realization of impersonal Brahman is imperfect without understanding the Supreme Personality of Godhead.
- A brāhmaṇa can chant on the platform of nāmābhāsa, but not pure vibration. Serving the Lord with full understanding of one’s eternal relationship is called abhidheya; at this stage one is a Vaiṣṇava, free from contamination and material attachment.
