moorthi Posted September 12, 2003 Report Share Posted September 12, 2003 Yam Pravrajantham anupetham apethakruthyam dwaipayano virahakathara aajuhava putreti tanmayatano taravopinethu tam sarvabhoothahrudhayam munim aanathosmi (Srimad Bhagavatha Mahatmyam 1.1) I bow down to that great sage Suka, who has entered the innermost reaches of the hearts of every living being. When he went away to the forest after renouncing worldly life, without being initiated to the sacred thread, Dwaipayana (Vyasa) became aggrieved and cried, "O my son!" to which all the trees, which had by then attained oneness with Suka, responded alike. Tad ashmasaram hrdayam batedam yad grhyamanai harinamadheyah na vikriyetatha yada vikaro netre jalam gatraruhesu harsah It has to be a heart made of stone, that, even after chanting the holy names of Hari, does not change and become ecstatic, that does not cause tears to fill the eyes and the hairs to stand on end." (Srimad Bhag: 2.3.24) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
