Therefore the preacher, the sadhus... These are the sadhus. Titiksavah, tolerant. "Never mind. Whatever hindrances and tribulations they are offering to us, never mind. Tolerate." Titiksavah karunikah suhrdah [SB 3.25.21]. Suhrdah, means the heart is so nice. Su means nice, and hrd means heart. They have no other desire. Suhrdah. Suhrdah means... Just like there are different words: mitra, suhrdah, bandhu... And Sanskrit is very perfect language. Suhrdah. Suhrdah means a person who is always thinking of welfare for others. He's called suhrdah. Otherwise kuhrdah. The ordinary persons, they are thinking how to make him subdued, how to make him defeated, in competition. That is the polluted heart. And the Vaisnava, he's always thinking how a man can be saved from the clutches of maya. He's called suhrdah. He has no other desire. Suhrdah sarva-dehinam. Not "For my brother, or family," but sarva-dehinam, for all dehis, all dehis.
It is not that, that these human... Just like here-nationalism. What is this nationalism? Nationalism means to take care of the human beings and send the cows and goats to the slaughterhouse. This is going on, "nationalism." What do you mean by national? Nation... The definition is any living being born in that land, he is a national. So the cow is not born? The tree is not born in this land? But because they are not Krsna conscious, they cannot be kind to all the dehis. Sarva-dehinam. Dehi means anyone who has got this body. So somebody has got body human being, somebody has got the cow's body, somebody has a dog's body, somebody has tree's body. So the Vaisnava is so kind that suhrdah sarva-dehinam. He is kind not only to the human being: to the cats, dogs, to the trees, to the plants, to the insects. A Vaisnava will hesitate to kill even one mosquito. Sarva-dehinam. Not that "I shall take care of my brother. I am good, and my brother is good." No. Suhrdah sarva-dehinam. These are the Vaisnava qualifications.
Titiksavah karunikah suhrdah sarva-dehinam, ajata-satravah [SB 3.25.21]. Because he is living in that way, why others will be enemy? Or, he does not create enemy. They become enemy out of their own character. We do not create enemy, but due to the demonic qualification... How we can create enemy? Krsna says that sarva-dharman parityajya mam ekam saranam vraja [Bg. 18.66]. We are simply teaching, "My dear human being, my dear friend, you become a surrendered soul to Krsna." So what is our fault? So we don't create enemy, but they become enemy. We don't create enemy. Why shall I create enemy? Suhrdah sarva-dehinam. Why shall I create enemy? But they become, out of their own nature... Just like serpent. Nobody creates a serpent enemy, but he's already enemy. Sarpah krurah khalah krurah sarpat kruratarah khalah. Canakya Pandita says, "There are two crooked animals, or envious animals." What is that? One man, envious. Without any reason, he becomes envious. And there is one serpent, envious. Without any fault, it will bite, and your death. Sarpah krurah khalah krurah. Similarly, there are men—without any offense, they'll become enemy. Unnecessarily. So Canakya Pandita says, sarpah krurah khalah krurah. There are two envious entities. Sarpat kruratarah khalah. The crooked man is more dangerous than the serpent. Why? Mantrausadhi-vasah sarpah: Sarpa, the serpent, can be subdued by mantra, by chanting, snake-chanting mantra, or by some herbs. Khalah kena nivaryate: The man envious, it cannot be subdued. Therefore he's more dangerous than the serpent.
So we are in this society, human society. Because we are spreading Krsna consciousness, the krurah, which is more dangerous than a snake, they are putting, putting so many impediments. But we have to tolerate. We have no other alternative. You see? Ajata-satravah santah. Be peaceful. What can be done? Depend on Krsna.
