Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam
[ Canto 4, Ch. 11 ]
TRANSLATION
It is very difficult to achieve the spiritual abode of Hari in the Vaikuṇṭha planets, but you are so fortunate that you are already destined to go to that abode by worshiping Him as the supreme abode of all living entities.
PURPORT
The material bodies of all living entities cannot exist unless sheltered by the spirit soul and the Supersoul. The spirit soul is dependent on the Supersoul, who is present even within the atom. Therefore, since anything material or spiritual is completely dependent on the Supreme Lord, the Supreme Lord is referred to here as  bhūtāvāsa . Dhruva Mahārāja, as a  kṣatriya , could have argued with his grandfather, Manu, when Manu requested him to stop fighting. But even though Dhruva could have argued that as a  kṣatriya  it was his duty to fight with the enemy, still he was informed that since every living entity is a residence of the Supreme Lord and can be considered a temple of the Lord, the unnecessary killing of any living entity is not permitted.
स त्वं हरेरनुय्यातस्तत्पुंसामपि सम्मतः। कथं त्ववधं कृतवाननुशिक्षन् सतां व्रतम् ॥१२॥
sa tvam harer anudhyātas tat-pumsām api sammataḥ katham tv avadyam kṛtavān anuśikṣan satām vratam
saḥ—that person; tvam—you; hareḥ—by the Supreme Lord; anudhyātaḥ—being always remembered; tat—His; pumsām—by the devotees; api—also; sammataḥ—esteemed; katham—why; tu—then; avadyam—abominable (act); kṛtavān—you have undertaken; anuśikṣan—setting the example; satām—● saintly persons; vratam—a vow.
TRANSLATION
Because you are a pure devotee of the Lord, the Lord is always thinking of you, and you are also recognized by all His confidential devotees. Your life is meant for exemplary behavior. I am, therefore, surprised—why have you undertaken such an abominable task?
