350 Sri Caitanya-caritamrta {Madhya-lila, Ch. 22

PURPORT

Srila Bhaktivinoda Thakura explains this point. Is this bhagya (fortune) the result
of an accident or something else? In the scriptures, devotional service and pious
activity are considered fortunate. Pious activities can be divided into three
categories —pious activities that awaken one’s dormant Krsna consciousness are
called bhakty-unmukhi sukrti. Pious activities that bestow material opulence are
called bhogonmukhi, and pious activities that enable the living entity to merge
into the existence of the Supreme are called moksonmukhi. These last two
awards of pious activity are not actually fortunate. Pious activities are fortunate
when they help one become Krsna conscious. The good fortune of bhakty-un-
mukhi is attainable only when one comes in contact with a devotee. By asso-
ciating with a devotee willingly or unwillingly, one advances in devotional service,
and thus one’s dormant Krsna consciousness is awakened.
