Adi-lila, Chapter 9 243

Krsna eats, the entire world becomes satisfied. There is the story in the Mahabharata.
illustrating how by Krsna’s eating, the 60,000 disciples of Durvasa Muni were all
satisfied. Therefore it is a fact that if by our life (pranaih), by our wealth (arthaih),
‘by our intelligence (dhiya) or by our words (vaca) we can satisfy the Supreme
Personality of Godhead, naturally the entire world will become happy. Therefore
our main duty is to satisfy the Supreme Godhead by our actions, our money and
our words. This is very simple. Even if one does not have money, he can preach the
Hare Krsna mantra to everyone. One can go everywhere, to every home, and request
everyone to chant the Hare Krsna mantra. Thus the entire world situation will be-
come very happy and peaceful.

PURPORT

Sti Caitanya Mahaprabhu is the most benevolent personality in human society
because His only desire is to make people happy. His saMkirtana movement is
especially meant for the purpose of making people happy. He wanted to become
the tree Himself because a tree is supposed to be the most benevolent living entity.
In the following verse, which is from Srimad-Bhagavatam (10.22.33), Krsna Himself
highly praised the existence of a tree.
