Sometimes due to the highly polluted atmosphere all around us in this age of Kali, various impurities enter the water of our hearts. And it is natural. So what is to be done? In Vaishnava societies, our relationship with one another is really for the purpose of keeping each devotee fit to distribute Krishna consciousness to the world. If impurities come into our hearts; that pot; we must filter what is within it, but we should not break the pot. Because Srila Prabhupada explains, " Once that pot is broken, it cannot be repaired by any means." Srila Prabhupada explains that this movement will expand on the basis of love and trust of the devotees. It is the only means. Through our sadhana of chanting very carefully the Holy Names of Krishna, Hare Krishna Hare Krishna Krishna Krishna Hare Hare Hare Rama Hare Rama Rama Rama Hare Hare, chanting 16 rounds minimal, very attentively every day, chanting in the beautiful Sankirtan of the Holy Name in the association of the devotees, dancing joyfully for the pleasure of the Lord, reading very carefully Srila Prabhupada's books with a deep desire to transform our lives in hearing his nectarean words, by performing various services, rising early in the morning, worshiping the Deities; through this sadhana, we are receiving the mercy of Guru Maharaj and thus we are filling our heart with the water of his mercy. But that mercy is not to remain simply in our hearts. It is meant to be distributed to the world.
