“Accept the Mercy” by HG Mahatma Prabhu – June 17, 2018 (4 min video)
Suppose a man is fallen in the pit and he’s trying to come out, and another man drops a rope, “Please catch it. I shall take you out of the pit.” He does not catch it. Then how he can be taken out? So sadhu and sastra, they’re always ready to give you mercy, but you have to take it. If you don’t accept it, then how you can recover, recover? Therefore initiation means to accept the mercy of the sädhu and spiritual master. If you don’t accept, so there is no other way. If you think… If you cry that “I am fallen in the pit. Please take me,” and when somebody comes to help you, you say, “No, I’ll not catch it,” then you remain there. Who’ll help you? Srila Prabhupada
