Mercy is higher than justice

We will receive help from the revealed Scriptures, and from the many saints and agents who are also coming from that plane to bring us into harmony.
The religion of highest harmony has been given by Mahāprabhu Śrī Chaitanyadeva who explained devotion on the basis of Śrīmad Bhagavatam, the book which is understood to be the real conclusion of all the revealed scriptures.

In this way, He explained that energy or power is not the highest thing, but knowledge is above it. Knowledge can control power and give a beneficial result, but further, knowledge itself also holds a lower position: above it is love and affection, and that is the highest. Neither knowledge nor power, but only affection can give us fulfilment of life.

Mercy is higher than justice. Justice only exists where there is the necessity of laws, rules, etc., but in the realm of the Absolute Autocrat, who is the Absolute Good, there can be no question of any apprehension about Him. He is Absolute Good, an Absolute Good is an Absolute Love and Affection, and that is home!
