Expecting the Lord’s mercy, from the Tenth Canto of Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam [10.14.8]:
“My dear Lord, one who earnestly waits for You to bestow Your causeless mercy upon him, all the while patiently suffering the reactions of his past misdeeds and offering You respectful obeisances with his heart, words and body, is surely eligible for liberation, for it has become his rightful claim.”
