Question: How do we get the mercy of guru and Krsna? How do we get the shelter of the Lord? How do we become sinless?

Jayapataka Swami: So we practice Krsna consciousness step by step. We gradually reach the stage of nishta. And then from nishta we get ruci, aasakti and bhava. So Krsna consciousness is a gradual process. You achieve it step by step, after you get rid of your anartha nivritti, after you take initiation, you can reach the level of nishta. Then you should get a taste for chanting and serving Krsna. It is called the stage of ruci. Hare Krsna.
