All glories to Srila Prabhupada!

The merciful spiritual master has come and given me everything. I was searching for nothing but my own enjoyment, but through Krsna's mercy He has come and grabbed me out. He has given me true life and forced me to see the death. The perfected being, the merciful spiritual master, distributing mercy, has seen fit to let it extend to the lowest regions so that it may touch my head. Truly He has extended a shaft of light through the darkest regions, just so that it could guide the most fallen back to home. This shaft of light is the holy name of Krsna, the Absolute Truth. Being the prime distributor of Krsna's mercy He is offering to everyone. This must be so, or surely it would not have extended this far down. Truly He is the pure vehicle of the mercy of Krsna. The perfect and divine spiritual master has come and taken me like a tree and shaken off the leaves, the temporary shelter, so that we must take shelter at His divine lotus feet. Just let me be humble enough to sincerely offer all glories to Srila Prabhupada.
