A short spoken monologue by Jayapataka Swami emphasizing that the mercy of Lord Caitanya is a sheer, invaluable gift that cannot be earned, bought, or exchanged. The speaker stresses that the mercy is given even to the most fallen souls, but recipients must approach with determination, eagerness, humility, and surrender; any belief in additional personal qualifications may disqualify one from receiving this mercy.

No one should take this mercy of Lord Caitanya Maharavut cheaply. He gives his mercy to the most fallen of souls. But if someone thinks that they have any other qualification apart from being the most fallen to get the mercy of Lord Caitanya, then they may be left without that mercy. It's simply sheer mercy. There's no qualification one can have which is great enough that one can have, which will qualify one to get at the mercy of what you think what he's giving. You couldn't buy it for anything. You couldn't exchange it for anything. It's so great, it's so invaluable, that it's simply given as a sheer mercy. There's no other way. Simply that if the person has got this determination and approaches in the proper attitude, then the Lord is inclined to give that person his mercy. But actually it is so valuable that there's no price anyone could pay. It's simply that it's his mercy. It's his wish to give out this transcendental treasure to those who are eager for it, who want it, who are determined to get it, and who approach him in that humble and surrendered mood. He gives it to them.
