A Drop of Kṛṣṇa’s Unlimited Potencies

“The unlimited potencies of Kṛṣṇa are just like an ocean of nectar. Since one cannot bathe within that ocean, I have only touched a drop of it.”

Śrīla Prabhupāda · Śrī Caitanya Caritamrta Madhya 21.98, translation

What the purport teaches

  • Kṛṣṇa’s unlimited potencies are compared to an ocean of nectar.
  • One cannot bathe within that unlimited ocean.
  • The speaker describes what has been shared as only touching a drop of it.

Read the translation slowly, then pause to consider how much an ocean exceeds a single drop.

Ask yourself

How does the image of a single drop help you approach Kṛṣṇa’s unlimited potencies with humility?

Carry the question through the day, then answer it in your own words before sleep.
