Excerpts from a discourse by our Sri Sri Muralidhara Swamiji
Bhagavãn has the following two with Him - 'Satya' (Truth) and 'Krupa' (Compassion). Only with 'Satya' can the world be run. 'Krupa' is for 'uddharana' (to help 'jivas' attain the Lord). Keeping 'Satya' to Himself, Bhagavãn has given 'krupa' to the Sadhus! The Lord tells the Sadhus that it would be impossible for Him to run the world if He went around doing 'loka uddharana'. So, He tells the Sadhus, "Take 'krupa' with you and I would give the ticket of Moksha to ones sent to Me by you."
When a Sãdhu demands of Bhagavãn to bestow Moksha on a person he (the Sadhu) does not tell the Lord, "He is good. Give him Moksha."
Why? Does not Bhagavãn know if a person is virtuous or not?
The Mahãns tell Bhagavãn, "Do not take note of his 'guna' (virtue) or 'dosha' (vice/fault). Take note of only the fact that I have sent him."
At once the Lord gives the ticket of Moksha to that person.
The Sadhu (dares to) tells the Lord, "Take him unto Yourself! You need not analyse on the virtue or any other background of the jiva being sent to you. Take note of only one fact - that he has taken refuge in a Mahatma, had attended a Satsang, listened to your stories, chanted your Divine Name."
Yoga or tapas might betray you but never the 'krupa' (grace) of the Guru. Only that 'krupa' would stand by you.
Chant the Mahamantra Nama kirtan :
Hare Rama Hare Rama Rama Rama Hare Hare
Hare Krishna Hare Krishna Krishna Krishna Hare Hare
