"It is said that a single pure devotee of the Lord can deliver all the fallen souls of the world. Thus one who is actually in the confidence of a pure devotee like Narada or Sukadeva Gosvami and thus is empowered by one's spiritual master, as Narada was by Brahmaji, can not only deliver himself from the clutches of maya, or illusion, but can deliver the whole world by his pure and empowered devotional strength."
This is certainly something to hanker for, to pray for. "My Dear Lord Sri Krishna, kindly bless that I can be your spotlessly pure devotee fully empowered to save all of the fallen, conditioning souls who are suffering here in this material world in the cycle of birth. Please bless that I can deliver them all back to Your eternal abode."
This reminds of a song by Bhaktivinode Thakur in which he sings:
"kabe ha’be bolo se-dina āmār
(āmār) aparādha ghuci’, śuddha nāme ruci,
kṛpā-bale ha’be hṛdoye sañcār
When, oh, when will that day be mine?
When my offenses ceasing, taste for the name increasing,
When in my heart will your mercy shine,
When, oh, when will that day be mine?"
So let us all hanker for that day when we can achieve pure devotional service and can deliver all of the fallen, conditioned souls who are suffering like anything here in this material existence.
