TRANSLATION

O my lord, great philanthropic souls travel on the earth on behalf of the
Supreme Personality of Godhead to show compassion to the fallen souls
who are adverse to the sense of subordination to the Lord.

PURPORT

To be obedient to the wishes of the Supreme Lord is the natural position
of every living entity. But due only to past misdeeds, a living being be-
comes adverse to the sense of subordination to the Lord and suffers all the
miseries of material existence. No one has anything to do but render
devotional service to the Supreme Lord, Sri Krsna. Therefore any activity
other than transcendental loving service to the Lord is more or less a
rebellious action against the supreme will. All fruitive activity, empirical
philosophy and mysticism are more or less against the sense of subordina-
tion to the Lord, and any living entity engaged in such rebellious activity
is more or less condemned by the.laws of material nature, which work un-
der the subordination of the Lord. Great unalloyed devotees of the Lord
are compassionate towards the fallen, and therefore they travel all over the
world with the mission of bringing souls back to Godhead, back to home.
Such pure devotees of the Lord carry the message of Godhead in order
to deliver the fallen souls, and therefore the common man who is bewil-
dered by the influence of the external energy of the Lord should avail
himself of their association.
