Avoid Habitually Inspecting Others’ Lives
“It is Rāmacandra Purī’s business to inquire always about how others are eating and conducting their daily affairs.
What the purport teaches
- Rāmacandra Purī constantly inquires about how others are eating.
- His inquiries also extend to how others conduct their daily affairs.
- The surrounding verses connect this habit with criticism, rather than consideration of others’ good qualities.
Try this today
Leave one unnecessary question about another person’s eating or daily habits unasked today.
Ask yourself
When I inquire about others’ daily habits, am I looking for faults?
Carry the question through the day, then answer it in your own words before sleep.
The study points are short summaries drawn from Śrīla Prabhupāda's translation and purport; the practice and question are plain words for trying the verse today.
