Live Caitanya Caritamrta · CC Madhya 18.125
Remembering the Supreme Person Grants Spiritual Eligibility
“ ‘To say nothing of the spiritual advancement of persons who see the Supreme Person face to face, even a person born in a family of dog-eaters becomes immediately eligible to perform Vedic sacrifices if he once utters the holy name of the Supreme Personality of Godhead or chants about Him, hears about His pastimes, offers Him obeisances or even remembers Him.’
What the purport teaches
- Even someone born in a family of dog-eaters becomes immediately eligible to perform Vedic sacrifices through contact with the Supreme Personality of Godhead.
- The verse names uttering His holy name even once, chanting about Him, hearing His pastimes, offering Him obeisances or simply remembering Him.
- If these acts bring such spiritual advancement, how much more can be said of seeing the Supreme Person face to face?
