Only by Your causeless mercy will my words become pure. I am sure that when this transcendental message penetrates their hearts they will certainly feel engladdened and thus become liberated from all unhappy conditions of life.
Commentary Sarve sukhino bhavantu—a devotee wants to see everyone happy. Seeing others unhappy causes him pain. Prahlāda Mahārāja expresses this sentiment in his prayer to Nṛsiṁhadeva (SB 7.9.43) where he says: “I am simply lamenting for them and devising various plans to deliver them from the clutches of māyā.” This is a devotee’s mission. And how to achieve this? He knows by experience that it is only possible by purifying one’s existence. Therefore, he tries to give Kṛṣṇa—in the form of transcendental sound—to everyone he meets. And when he is successful, he knows that it is due to the causeless mercy of the Lord. A devotee does not take credit for his accomplishments in devotional service. He recognizes that whatever advancement he may make, or whatever success he might have, is due to the mercy of guru and Kṛṣṇa. Nevertheless, endeavor and competence must be there, too. A devotee does not lean back and expect Kṛṣṇa to do all the work. But endeavor alone, even with competence, is not enough. Without the ingredient of mercy, all efforts will be futile and end in failure. On the other hand, a devotee is certain that the transcendental message has immense power and can uplift anyone who receives it with an open heart. Evaṁ prasanna-manaso—the heart becomes enlivened—and at the end, mukta-saṅgasya jāyate—one becomes liberated from all material association, which is the cause of all unhappiness. This process is scientific and universally applicable. A method is considered scientific when facts can be established through testing and experimentation. Experience has shown that anyone who applies the process carefully, step by step, will surely attain the desired result.
