bali sugreeva

For Krsna there is no difference between vikriti and prakriti souls. They are the same. Selfish.

The only thing that changes a soul to one qualified for mercy is the grace of Guru, whereby, through being favored by a pure devotee one gains the favor of the Lord.

When Lakshman garlanded Sugreeva, he became the recipient of mercy as opposed to Bali or Vali.
