PURPORT
In his Amrta-pravaha-bhasya, Srila Bhaktivinoda Thakura explains that this spiritual potency is the essence of the pleasure potency and the knowledge potency.
By these two potencies, one is empowered with devotional service.
Lord Krsna Himself or His representative, the unalloyed devotee, can mercifully bestow these combined potencies upon any man.
Being thus endowed with such potencies, one can become an unalloyed devotee of the Lord.
Anyone favored by Lord Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu was empowered with this bhakti-sakti.
Thus the Lord’s followers were able to preach Krsna consciousness by divine grace.
