[TheVedicStudent]

I am most fallen, and You are most merciful; therefore I have full rights to claim Your mercy. For no matter how degraded I could possibly be, Your mercy easily extends to that degree; therefore I am quite a suitable candidate for receiving Your grace.[Sri Sri Gita-mala]

We have full rights to claim Krsna's mercy, if we engage in Krsna's service.

"Lord Gaurāṅga is calling, "Wake up, sleeping souls! Wake up, sleeping souls! How long will you sleep in the lap of the witch called Māyā?"
