A devotee with Mahārāja Pratāparudra’s determination will certainly be victorious in advancing in Kṛṣṇa consciousness. Śrī Kṛṣṇa confirms this in the Bhagavad-gītā ([[Vanisource:BG 9.14|BG 9.14]]):

<div class="quote_verse">
:satataṁ kīrtayanto māṁ yatantaś ca dṛḍha-vratāḥ</dd><dd>namasyantaś ca māṁ bhaktyā nitya-yuktā upāsate
</div>

“Always chanting My glories, endeavoring with great determination, bowing down before Me, these great souls perpetually worship Me with devotion.”These are the symptoms of a mahātmā engaged in the Lord’s service in full Kṛṣṇa consciousness. Thus Mahārāja Pratāparudra’s determination is very much exalted and is called dṛḍha-vrata. Because of this determination, he was finally able to receive Lord Caitanya’s direct mercy.
