“The humble sage, by virtue of true knowledge, sees with equal vision a
learned and gentle brahmana, a cow, an elephant, a dog and a dog-eater

person, a devotee, wants to see everyone developed in Krsna consciousness.
The place where the Pracetas were residing was perfect for executing spiri-

with a person who is already liberated. This is called sadhu-sariga, associating
with a perfect devotee.
