moment, as if such topics were newer and newer. They are at-
tached to such topics, just as materialists are attached to topics of
women and sex.
PURPORT
The word sdéra-bhrtam means paramahamsas. The harhsa, or swan,

accepts milk from a mixture of milk and water and rejects the water.
Similarly, the nature of persons who have taken to spiritual life and
Krsna consciousness, understanding Krsna to be the life and soul of
everyone, is that they cannot give up krsna-katha, or topics about Krsna,
at any moment. Such paramaharnsas always see Krsna within the core
of the heart (santah sadaiva hrdayesu vilokayanti). Kama (desires),
krodha (anger) and bhaya (fear) are always present in the material
world, but in the spiritual, or transcendental, world one can use them
for Krsna. Kémam krsna-karmarpane. The desire of the paramaham-
sas, therefore, is to act always for Krsna. Krodham bhakta-dvesi jane.
They use anger against the nondevotees and transform bhaya, or fear,
into fear of being deviated from Krsna consciousness. In this way, the
life of a paramahamsa devotee is used entirely for Krsna, just as the life
of a person attached to the material world is used simply for women and
money. What is day for the materialistic person is night for the spiritu-
alist. What is very sweet for the materialist—namely women and
money —is regarded as poison by the spiritualist.

sandarsanam visayindm atha yositam ca

ha hanta hanta visa-bhaksanato ’py asaédhu
This is the instruction of Caitanya Mahaprabhu. For the paramahamsa,
Krsna is everything, but for the materialist, women and money are
everything.
