Steady Devotional Faith Reveals Good Qualities
“ ‘In one who has unflinching devotional faith in Kṛṣṇa, all the good qualities of Kṛṣṇa and the demigods are consistently manifest. However, he who has no devotion to the Supreme Personality of Godhead has no good qualifications because he is engaged by mental concoction in material existence, which is the external feature of the Lord.’
What the purport teaches
- In one who has unflinching devotional faith in Kṛṣṇa, all the good qualities of Kṛṣṇa and the demigods are consistently manifest.
- Without devotion to the Supreme Personality of Godhead, one has no good qualifications, being engaged by mental concoction in material existence.
- Prahlāda Mahārāja and his followers spoke these words while offering prayers to Nṛsiṁhadeva.
