Spiritual Self Confidence

I am more sinful than Jagai and Madhai and even lower than the worms in the stool.

Anyone who hears my name loses the results of his pious activities. Anyone who utters my name becomes sinful.

Who in this world but Nityananda could show His mercy to such an abominable person as me?

Because He is intoxicated by ecstatic love and is an incarnation of mercy, He does not distinguish between the good and the bad.

He delivers all those who fall down before Him. Therefore He has delivered such a sinful and fallen person as me.
...
I am not fit to speak all these confidential words about my visiting Lord Madana Gopala and Lord Govinda.
...
The dust and shade of the lotus feet of the Vaisnavas have been granted to this fallen soul by the mercy of Lord Nityananda.
...
Lord Nityananda said, "In Vrndavana all things are possible." Here I have explained His brief statement in detail.
...
I have attained all this by coming to Vrndavana, and this was made possible by the mercy of Lord Nityananda.
