kadacit yaha na paya shuka va prahlada
toma’ sabara bhrityeo paibe se prasada”
TRANSLATION
“All you devotees will receive mercy that even Shukadeva Gosvami and Prahlada Maharaja did not receive.”
COMMENTARY
In the pure servitorship of Krishna there are no mixed or separate interests. Although the characteristics of both the Absolute Truth Shri Krishna and the ingredients of His enjoyment are qualitatively one, His multifarious energies manifest a variety of pastimes. In the philosophies of shuddha-dvaita (purified dualism), shuddhadvaita (purified monism), dvaitadvaita (monism and dualism), and vishishtadvaita (specific monism) the worship of Krishna is primarily stressed. Such nondual consideration was also accepted by Shri Advaita Prabhu.
In the Shri Chaitanya-candramrita (18) Tridandi Svami Shrila Prabodhananda has stated: “The dear devotees of Lord Gaura happily enjoy pastimes on the splendid path of pure devotional service, which great sages like Vyasadeva could not thoroughly understand, which material intelligence has no power to enter, which Shukadeva Gosvami could not reveal, and which merciful Lord Krishna never revealed to His devotees.” Shrila Rupa Prabhu has stated in his Upadeshamrita (11) as follows: yat preshthair apy alam asulabham kim punar bhakti-bhajam-“That which is very rarely attained even by great devotees is even more difficult for ordinary devotees to attain.”
