yaha ghara, krsna karuna kusala sabara

SYNONYMS

sabara—blessings to everyone; amara sambandhe—on my account; duhkha—
unhappiness; nd ha-uka—may there not be; kahara—of anyone.
TRANSLATION
“All of you may now go to your homes. May Lord Krsna bestow his blessings
upon you all. Do not be sorry because of my being insulted.”
PURPORT
From this statement by Haridasa Thakura, it is understood that a pure Vaisnava
never takes anyone’s insults seriously. This is the teaching of $ri Caitanya
Mahdaprabhu:
trnad api sunicena
taror api sahisnuna
amanind manadena
kirtantyah sada harih
“One should chant the holy name of the Lord in a humble state of mind, thinking
oneself lower than the straw in the street. One should be more tolerant than a
tree, devoid of all sense of false prestige and ready to offer all respects to others.
In such a state of mind one can chant the holy name of the Lord constantly.” A
Vaisnava is always tolerant and submissive like trees and grass. He tolerates insults
offered by others, for he is simply interested in chanting the holy name of the Lord
without being disturbed.
