Guest guest Posted February 25, 2006 Report Share Posted February 25, 2006 etavan avyayo dharmah punya-slokair upasitah yo bhuta-soka-harsabhyam atma socati hrsyati TRANSLATION If one is unhappy to see the distress of other living beings and happy to see their happiness, his religious principles are appreciated as imperishable by exalted persons who are considered pious and benevolent. PURPORT In this verse real religious principles are explained. Everyone should be unhappy to see others in distress and happy to see others happy. Atmavat sarva-bhutesu: one should feel the happiness and distress of others as his own. A Vaisnava, therefore, is truly a perfect person because he laments to see others unhappy and feels joy at seeing others happy. A Vaisnava is para-duhkha-duhkhi; he is always unhappy to see the conditioned souls in an unhappy state of materialism. Therefore a Vaisnava is always busy preaching Krsna consciousness throughout the world. SB 6.10.10 text and extracts from ppt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
