Krishna eagerly bestows His grace upon all who surrender, transcending all material designations through devotional service.Listen — Srila Prabhupada Uvaca
Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam 3.28.17 — October 26, 1975, Nairobi 751026SB-NAIROBI [26:16 Minutes] SB-03.28.17_751026SB-NAIROBI Harikeśa: Oṁ namo bhagavate vāsudevāya. Oṁ namo bhagavate vāsudevāya. Oṁ namo bhagavate vāsudevāya. [devotees repeat] Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam, Canto Three, Chapter Twenty-eight, verse seventeen.
[leads chanting of verse, etc.] apīcya-darśanaṁ śaśvat sarva-loka-namaskṛtam santaṁ vayasi kaiśore bhṛtyānugraha-kātaram [SB 3.28.17] [02:28] Translation: "The Lord is eternally very beautiful, and He is worshipable by all the inhabitants of every planet. He is ever-youthful and always eager to bestow His blessing upon His devotees." Prabhupāda: apīcya-darśanaṁ śaśvat sarva-loka-namaskṛtam santaṁ vayasi kaiśore bhṛtyānugraha-kātaram [SB 3.28.17] This word is very important, bhṛtyānugraha-kātaram. Anugraha. Anugraha means favor.
Just like the father wants to favor the son always. Father wants that "My son may become very fit, competent, to take all my favors." This is father's wish. Every father, even in this material world, if father is very big man, great man, he wants that "My son also, let him become bigger than me." Is it not, practical? So if God, Kṛṣṇa, is the original father...
Ahaṁ bīja-pradaḥ pitā [Bg. 14.4], Kṛṣṇa says. It is not concoction or contemplation. No. It is the fact.
Kṛṣṇa says, sarva-yoniṣu kaunteya sambhavanti mūrtayo-yāḥ tāsāṁ mahad yonir brahma ahaṁ bīja-pradaḥ pitā [Bg. 14.4] "I am the seed-giving father of all living entities." It doesn't matter in different forms. He does not say that "I am the father only of the white, not of the black." He never says. He has no such distinction: white, black, European, American, or poor, rich, bird, beast, human being. No.
He does not make any discrimination. He is always ready to bestow favor as the original father. That is God. Therefore this very word, bhṛtyānugraha-kātaram: "How this rascal will give up this material job and come to Me and take all My favors?" This is God's desire. And we are so obstinate, we want to take some favor from this minister, that minister, this person, that person this...
Failure. Kṛṣṇa says, suhṛdaṁ sarva-bhūtānām [Bg. 5.29]: "I am friend of everyone." And here is the word, bhṛtyānugraha-kātaram. And He's very, very eager to give all His favors, and still people are not becoming Kṛṣṇa conscious. Just see how rascal they are.
