“‘O reservoir of all.good qualities, just worship Sri Krsna, the purifier of all
purifiers, the most exalted of the personalities worshiped by choice poetry.
Worship Him with a faithful, unflinching mind, without duplicity and in a
highly elevated manner. Thus worship the Lord, whose name is like the sun,
for just as a slight appearance of the sun dissipates the darkness of night, so a
slight appearance of the holy name of Krsna can drive away all the darkness of
ignorance that arises in the heart due to greatly sinful activities performed in
previous lives.’
