MERCY

Mercy, by Javier Figuerola or Haripada Dasa
 We understand and accept that justice means the balance, each person has what he deserves, the law of karma, what you sow crops, and that mercy is a much higher that justice concept because mercy means you are giving something you do not deserve. A merciful person suffers when he sees others suffer and is happy when he sees others happy in the consciousness of God. Mercy and tolerance are linked, a very gracious person is very tolerant, for example Jesus Christ envious people made him many offenses, humiliated, beaten and crucified him, had to tolerate the intolerable, yet Jesus Christ at the same time was merciful and prayed to God to forgive their offenders because they did not know what they were doing, also to great devotee Srila Haridasa Thakura by chanting Hare Krishna Muslims beat him in twenty two markets, and the head of the Muslims told the executioners if they killed him not kill all their families, and Srila Haridas Thakur compassion executioners not to kill their families went into a coma and died, Muslims threw the body of Srila Haridas Thakur the river Ganges, and when touched water rose and out the other side chanting Hare Krishna, seeing this Muslims realized they had committed a great offense to a holy person were there and threw the lotus feet of Srila Haridas Thakur to forgive them. Therefore it is said that the greatness of one should be measured by the ability that one has to tolerate provoking situations. Materialists and atheists are neither merciful nor tolerant, they really enjoy watching the bulls the torture and kill, understand and accept that when a person is not aware of God becomes the most dangerous animal.
Our spiritual master Srila Prabhupada always said that preach God consciousness or Krishna is not easy, because the preacher should always go with the truth ahead and people who have a lot of false ego feel insulted and sometimes kill preachers.
 I share this beautiful message of Srimad Bhagavatam, 4, 12, 36:
 The Vaikuṇṭha planets or the spiritual planets have their own light, and the reflection of its effulgence is the sole cause of the light emitted by the luminous planets of the material world. They can not reach those who are not merciful to other living entities. Only people who work without interruption for the welfare of other living entities can reach them.
