6.2 Help me learn the line between my part and thine 

tomāra icchaya nāśa 

māyār paraśa

It is, O Lord, by your benediction,

That all may break free from illusion.

My dear Lord, help me appreciate your supreme controllership, which Srila Prabhupada acknowledges by declaring that everything rests on your will—even the success of his mission to bring souls from illusion back to you.

O Almighty Lord, guide me to understand from Srila Prabhupada’s example when to emphasize which factor in analyzing the success of any action, such as outreach. Does it succeed because of the seeker’s sincerity, the teacher’s potency, or your mercy? In truth, all three intertwine—yet Srila Prabhupada reminds us which one is supreme. When he emphasizes your mercy, he does not deny the soul’s free will; he highlights that even when one chooses to act sincerely and wisely, it is still you, O Lord, who pave the way.

O all-attractive Lord, when Srila Prabhupada attributes to you all doership and all credit for the deliverance of souls, he humbly downplays his own role and expresses his utter dependence on you. He sees himself not as the cause, but as the channel of your grace.

Grant me, O my eternal protector, a similar divine consciousness, that in my outreach I may be guarded from two dangers: if it fails, I won’t blame my audience as insincere, and if it succeeds, I won’t take inordinate credit and become arrogant. That way, whatever the fate of my outreach, my inreach to you will always be safe and secure.
