However, this is not very wonderful for a pure devotee of the Lord because even a person beyond the jurisdiction of the four casts - in other words, an untouchable- is immediately relieved of bondage to material existence if he utters the Holy Name of the Lord even once.”

That is the Supreme Personality’s special mercy."
