Krsna and His avataras use weapons to annihilate the wicked, but Mahaprabhu does not use weapons, only the Mahamantra.
⁠Comparison between the different seasons, the phases of the bamboo, and the true purification of the anarthas.
⁠Sloka: harer nāma harer nāma… (CC Madhya-lila 6.242).
⁠In Kali-yuga, only the mahamantra takes us to God; karma, jnana and yoga do not lead to God.
⁠In the stage of the anarthas the sadhaka still does not feel love for the Lord.
⁠By listening to Harikatha, purification slowly takes place.
⁠Sloka that speaks of the cleansing of anarthas in the mirror of the heart: ceto-darpaṇa-mārjanaṁ bhava-mahā-dāvāgni-nirvāpaṇaṁ… (CC Antya-lila 20.12).
