Lord Rṣabhadeva's Teachings
201
He speaks the true version of all the  Vedas . As confirmed in the  Bhagavad-gītā  (15.15):  vedaiś ca sarvair aham eva vedyaḥ . By studying all the  Vedas , one should come to understand the transcendental position of Lord Śrī Kṛṣṇa. One who actually assimilated the essence of the  Vedas  can preach the truth. He is compassionate to conditioned souls who are suffering the threefold miseries of this conditional world due to their not being Kṛṣṇa conscious. A  brāhmaṇa  should take pity on the people and preach Kṛṣṇa consciousness in order to elevate them. Śrī Kṛṣṇa Himself, the Supreme Personality of Godhead, personally descends into this universe from the spiritual kingdom to teach conditioned souls about the values of spiritual life. He tries to induce them to surrender unto Him. Similarly, the  brāhmaṇas  do the same thing. After assimilating the Vedic instructions, they assist the Supreme Lord in His endeavor to deliver conditioned souls. The  brāhmaṇas  are very dear to the Supreme Lord due to their high  sattva-guṇa  qualities, and they also engage in welfare activities for all conditioned souls in the material world.
