The Lord’s Mercy Awakens Devotional Understanding
“Gopīnātha Ācārya reminded Sārvabhauma Bhaṭṭācārya, “My dear Bhaṭṭācārya, what I foretold to you has now taken place.””
What the purport teaches
- Gopīnātha Ācārya had predicted that the Lord’s blessing would enable Sārvabhauma Bhaṭṭācārya to understand devotional service thoroughly. That prediction was now fulfilled.
- The Bhaṭṭācārya fully accepted Vaiṣṇavism and followed its principles naturally, without being pressured.
- Even a little devotional service can save one from the greatest danger. Through contact with Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu, the Bhaṭṭācārya became a perfect devotee and was saved from the falldown of impersonalism.
