Everything possible by the blessings of a Vaishnava

In the pastime of Lord Brahma requesting Priyavrata Maharaj to accept household life, one may wonder if it may become an impediment to Maharaj Priyavrata's advancement. To explain this Srila Prabhupada write the following in the purport to SB 5.1.10:

"By the blessings of a Vaiṣṇava, everything is possible. This is described in Bhakti-rasāmṛta-sindhu as kṛpā-siddhi, or perfection attained simply by the blessings of a superior person. One usually becomes liberated and perfect by executing the regulative principles set down in the śāstras. Nonetheless, many persons have achieved perfection simply by the blessings of a spiritual master or superior."
