Everything about the Lord is merciful. There is no inauspiciousness in the Lord's arrangements. Whatever He does is for the good of all living entities.

Those conditioned souls who consider interference to their sense gratification inauspicious or as an examplke of the Lord's cruelty understand only one move of the chess game. They do not know what will happen four or five moves later.

The mercy of Sri Caitanyadeva and His devotees is causeless and yields no negative results. When a doctor prescribes a bitter medicine, the patient thinks him cruel. When he becomes cured by taking that medicine, though, he understands how merciful the doctor really was.
