Srila Prabhupada said this chanting of – Hare Krishna Hare Krishna Krishna Krishna Hare Hare/ Hare Rama Hare Rama Rama Rama Hare Hare - It is not an artificial imposition of the mind. It is invoking our original consciousness, our consciousness is so pure. It is to love Krsna but now - that consciousness has become polluted, so polluted by material designations, material attachments and material conceptions. So who is a pure devotee?That person who is in his natural state to love Krsna. Like the lotus flower. Even in this material world, whether there are so many pollutants, there is so much envy and competition, so much immorality, so much selfishness, a pure devotee because he is empowered by Krsna, because he is part and parcel of Krsna, he is manifesting Krishna's mercy in this world. Just like the sun is in contact with dirty things, but the sun never becomes contaminated, the sun purifies the dirty things. That is the power of the Sun. That is the power of God. He is Pavitra. He is all pure. That when a devotee becomes purified in his ideals or his motivations, then Krsna manifests His mercy through that devotee to purify the world.
