1028 Srimad-Bhagavatam [Canto 3, Ch. 25
vividhah—various; tapah—the material miseries; na—do not; efan—unto
them; mat-gata—fixed on Me; cetasah—their thoughts.
TRANSLATION
Engaged constantly in chanting and hearing about Me, the Supreme
Personality of Godhead, the sadhus do not suffer from material miseries
because they are always filled with thoughts of My pastimes and activities.
PURPORT
There are multifarious miseries in material existence—those pertaining
to the body and the mind, those imposed by other living entities, and
those imposed by natural disturbances. But a sadhu is not disturbed by
such miserable conditions because his mind is always filled with Krsna
consciousness, and thus he does not like to talk about anything but the
activities of the Lord. Maharaja Ambarisa did not speak of anything but
the pastimes of the Lord. Vacamsi vaikuntha-gundnuvarnane. He engaged
his words only in glorification of the Supreme Personality of Godhead.
Sadhus are always interested in hearing about the activities of the Lord or
His devotees. Since they are filled with Krsna consciousness, they are
forgetful of the material miseries. Ordinary conditioned souls, being
forgetful of the activities of the Lord, are always full of anxieties and
material tribulations. On the other hand, since the devotees always engage
in the topics of the Lord, they are forgetful of the miseries of material
existence.
