25. What is the mystery of the Vaiśnava (devotional) cult?

As per Rupa Goswami, if one is regularly discharging devotional service, there will be
no question of a fall down. But even if circumstantially there is some fall down, the
Vaishnava need have nothing to do with the prayascitta, the ritualistic ceremony for
purification. A Vaishnava simply has to execute the rules and regulations for discharging
devotional service, and this is sufficient for his reinstatement. This is the mystery of the
Vaishnava (devotional) cult.
