146 The Nectar of Devotion
Krsna and in the spiritual master makes one highly elevated in the
activities of devotional service.

In the Nrsimha Purana it is stated: “If a person has completely en-
gaged his mind, body and activities in the service of the Supreme
Godhead, and externally he is found to be engaged in some abomina-
ble activities, these abominable activities will surely be very quickly
vanquished by the influence of his staunch devotional force.” The
example is given that on the full moon there are some spots which
may appear to be pockmarks. Still, the illumination spread by the
full moon cannot be checked. Similarly, a little fault in the midst of
volumes of devotional service is not at all to be counted as fault. At-
tachment for Krsna is transcendental bliss. Amidst unlimited vol-
umes of transcendental bliss, a spot of some material defect cannot
act in any way.
