It is called causeless mercy because bhakti has no cause other than bhakti. So without contact with bhakti one can not get bhakti.

Lord Caitanya came to teach us how to chant the Holy Name with the feeling of separation from Krsna. Without separation, there is no full understanding of union. The feeling of separation increases the feeling of union.

Dharma means how to act according one's nature. We can not create dharma, because dharma is coming from an authority higher then ourselves. We simply receive it from the Supreme, through disciplic succession, for the welfare of others.

The root of all offenses is attachment to those things which have no relationship with Krishna. This enjoying spirit causes us to turn away from Krishna. And due to that attachment, we commit aparadha, which means, "that which turns us away from the service of Srimati Radharani."

The Holy Name of the Lord is our life. Our devotional service is meant to be performed in relation to the Holy Name. Our progress in life is meant to be gauged according to our relationship with the Holy Name.

This is another characteristic of a pure devotee. That they may appear completely independent, because the Lord actually gives them the power to do what they want.

I belong to Krsna and therefore, because I belong to the Supreme Lord, I am meant to serve the Lord. That is my connection with Him. All living beings also belong to the Supreme Lord and they are meant to serve Him. Therefore the best service that one can render, which is most pleasing to the Lord, is to help the forgetful living entities to establish their connection with the Lord.

Vaisnavas do not differentiate, thus they are aparakya buddhi. They see every living entity's relationship with Krsna and not just the living entity's relationship with himself. Because if one simply sees the relationship with himself, one cannot see Krsna.

Without Krsna at the center, then there is no ideal family life. If one does not put Krsna at the center of family life, then it is simply sex life. But when Krsna is there, then automatically this impulse is restrained.

But for anyone who has once relished the taste of the lotus feet of Srila Prabhupada, he will never be able to forget that ecstasy. When Prabhupada places his two lotus feet in your heart, you cannot give that up for anything.
