Pushpa Chaturvedi: Pleasures change as we go up the spiritual ladder. Only those who have truly attained the higher level know the sweetest taste.
Meena Devi Dasi: Rather than a ladder that we climb to reach something which is ascending, the mercy actually comes down to us and is descending. It is not by our own endeavor, prowess, intelligence, ability, etc, and very often the Lord demonstrates this by empowering someone totally unqualified with the highest bhakti.
The highest truth is realized as a loving relationship with God free from any desire for one's own personal fame, wealth, following etc.... Although very often those things come automatically anyway. So we do not get this relationship by some display of our own "prowess," that does not impress or attract the Lord... He is the greatest everything. What we can impress with our small show? Even Lord Brahma has conceded his inability to impress the Lord appearing like a little glow worm in the presence of the sun. But the Lord is captivated by our sincere desire to love Him. He enjoys loving relationship.
