Eternal Never-decreasing Credit: Devotional Service

Verse 1.6.24: Whatever benediction that Krishna gives, they are eternal. Actually, what is really needed is surrender. Krishna does not need anything actually. Srila Prabhupada says - "Krishna's independence is His dependence on devotees"

Caitanya Mahaprabhu came to distribute so many fruits, He can Himself do it. But He wants the devotees to get glorious, so He gives us a chance to distribute His mercy.

The thing is, we need to genuinely surrender to receive this mercy. The problem is from our side, problems of lust, anger, greed, pride, envy and false ego. But if we express our sincerity again again and again, we will gain pure devotional service by Krishna's grace. This will be eternal, never decreasing, only increasing always.

Bhaktivinoda Thakur writes: Tumi tho thakur ...
(wonderful consciousness in here)

To get this benediction from Krishna, we have to genuinely perform sadhana, starting from chanting the Holy Names.
