Qualities of Pure devotees: Repentance

Verse 1.19.1 (Phani Prji):

* Here, Srila Prabhupada was explaining in the translation and purport the importance of the repentance of a devotee for an action accidentally committed.
* Our intentions should be in service to Krishna. In our action, our intentions might be good, but still we may make the other person uncomfortable. So keeping Krishna in the middle is important.
* We should always try to avoid discussing bad about anything about anybody.
* Here too, MP was realizing that he might have done a wrong thing against a faultless sage. So he was repenting.
* We have to set the standards, to show example to the entire world.
* As practicing devotees, we should take responsibility to establishing standards, of first class brahmanas.
* If leaders get attracted to set standards according to KC, then people will follow for sure.
* 2nd Point: MP got distressed, as mentioned in this verse. How is it that MP is becoming distressed. That is so because he is worried about his service to Krishna. So his repentance is actually burning off any sins associated with it.
* Important thing is transformation of heart, of not doing the mistake again.
* What is needed is pure conditioned heart.
* The goal is to think of Krishna and always continue our journey.
* Without taking the shelter of Krishna, we most likely will end up in doing a mess for sure.
* In our day-to-day life, there will be so many complexities, only thing is if we stick to the principle of taking shelter of Krishna, then everything will work well.
