The moods to carryBe merciful to everyone
“ ‘My dear child, continue dancing, chanting and performing saṅkīrtana in association with devotees. Furthermore, go out and preach the value of chanting kṛṣṇa-nāma, for by this process You will be able to deliver all fallen souls.’
What the purport teaches
- The instruction is to continue dancing, chanting and performing saṅkīrtana with devotees. One should also teach others the value of chanting kṛṣṇa-nāma to deliver fallen souls.
- The spiritual master wants disciples to develop their own devotional service and share the saṅkīrtana movement for others’ benefit.
- Bhajanānandīs are satisfied to cultivate devotional service for themselves. Goṣṭhy-ānandīs also want others to benefit from the Lord’s holy name and advance in spiritual life.

The Lord's mercy went to the fallen; so does the devotee's. Do one kind thing today for someone who cannot repay you and does not expect it.
Ask yourself
Whom do I find easy to be kind to, and whom do I avoid?
Carry the question through the day, then answer it in your own words before sleep.
