That bhāva which is more amazing than anything in this world, which gives all powers, and which is very deep, is caused by the mercy of Kṛṣṇa.
Purport
If one can gradually advance his status in devotional service, this is understood to be due to the causeless mercy of Kṛṣṇa Himself.

Commentary
Previously, in verse 1.3.6, three causes of bhāva were mentioned: sādhana, mercy of the Lord and mercy of the devotee. Now, bhāva, arising due to sādhana in previous life, has just been mentioned. Which of these is the best? Hinting at examples such as Pūtana, the author says that bhāva caused by the mercy of Kṛṣṇa is the best.
