thank you so why is Chaitanya Mahaprabhu considered so merciful as is indicated in the primarily it is because he is revealing the highest and making it accessible in the easiest way so it’s just like say the government opens an IIT in a place which is relatively primitive then often people will say the government has done a great favour to that place by opening IIT over there it can become like a big developmental boost a matter of pride a matter of glory for that place so the government opening IIT is a matter of great favour especially if it is an underdeveloped place on top of that the government also provides concession for people to get admitted into the college say the students in that local area they can get admitted even if they pay less fees or even if they get relatively less marks that means they provide the highest and the government also makes the entry easy, much easier than earlier then we would consider that to be exceptional amount of favour that the government is doing to that place so similarly Chaitanya Mahaprabhu is offering the highest there is Mukti that liberation which is considered a very high attainment traditionally and even in Mukti there is Mukti into the spiritual world, into the planets of Krishna personal liberation that is even higher and even among the personal liberation the liberation where one develops intimate relationship with Krishna that is even highest it is highest and even among various forms of intimate relationship with Krishna Radharani’s relationship with Krishna is in the Parakiya Bhav that is very esoteric and very exalted Chaitanya Mahaprabhu is offering that which is the highest and so he is offering that highest which is very very rare that itself is very merciful so so for a very very long time this was un-arpita it had not been offered very long time means it is that in the previous day of Brahma when Krishna had appeared after that Chaitanya Mahaprabhu had appeared so in that sense for a very very long time it has not happened so and that also he is offering so it is like opening an opening an IIT anywhere is special but opening an IIT in an underdeveloped place that is even special so Kallahu, Chaitanya Mahaprabhu is offering that in Kalyuga which is which is a relatively very degraded age so that lord now how is he offering that is specifically not mentioned in this verse but he is offering it simply by the chanting of the holy names so by the joyful process of bhakti yoga centered on Harinamsa Kirtan he is offering that which is the highest in an eminently accessible way so he is offering the highest to people who are very less qualified and he is offering it in a eminently accessible way so because of all these reasons like this Chaitanya Mahaprabhu is considered to be an extremely merciful person not an extremely merciful person even the most merciful incarnation the Karunya Shiromani the crest jewel of compassion is manifested
