Reading from the Study Guide on the Songs of Vaiṣṇava Ācāryas: "My names will be broadcast in all the villages and cities of the world. Even though persons averse to the Supreme Lord have never heard the forms, qualities and activities of the Supreme Lord, the Holy Names of the Lord will be preached in all the villages of the world." (Caitanya Bhāgavata, Antya Khaṇḍa 4.126)
His Holiness Bhaktividyā Pūrṇa Svāmī Mahārāja: So, even though people averse to the Lord haven't heard these things, by the grace of the Lord, by this drive, by the order of the Lord, by the Lord's, by the devotees' desire to please the Lord, then all these good fortune will be there for all living entities. So even though they are not looking for it, the devotees will go out to them in every town and village. That's what's unique. Because Kṛṣṇa, we see is, He takes that mood of just as you surrender then He reciprocates. Because He, being everything, therefore how you deal with Him in any facet of His personal or the extension of His śaktis, He reciprocates in that way, in that mood. You know, just like He is rasa, so whatever rasa somebody deals with Him in, He reciprocates that rasa. And to the intensity, to that intensity, right? So with Kubjā He interacts on her level, the queens on their level, the gopīs on their level. And then the gopīs, then you will see, those who are other groups, and then Rādhārānī's group, that would be more intense. Then within Rādhārānī's group, Śrīmatī Rādhārānī Herself. And so, He reciprocates with everyone. So She, being the svarūpa-śakti, that's His full... Her full love and His full love, that's complete in itself.
So Lord reciprocates with everybody, but if somebody is not in some way trying to interact with Him, then how does He reciprocate? Because that is His vow, that is His nature. But the devotee... So because that is His rasa, how He encompasses everything and how He will deal. But then you will see is the devotee has their rasa, their relationship, and how they will... So they can go out and preach to others. Then on that level then Kṛṣṇa reciprocating, that gets the taste. That becomes your intensity of rasa, it's known by that title. So, therefore, this whole idea is that everywhere, and that it will happen because of this potency Bhaktisiddhānta Sarasvatī Ṭhākura gave. And then Śrīla Prabhupāda then taking that in full enthusiasm then gives that to us. So that full potency is there. We simply have to take it. That's all. We simply have to take it.
