the senses; upasdntya—by controlling; ca—also; tusyati—becomes satisfied;
asu—very soon; jandrdanah—the Lord of all living entities.

TRANSLATION

By showing mercy to all living entities, being satisfied somehow or
other, and controlling the senses from sense enjoyment, one can very
quickly satisfy the Supreme Personality of Godhead, Janardana.

PURPORT

These are some of the ways in which the Supreme Personality of
Godhead can be satisfied by the devotee. The first item mentioned is
dayaya sarva-bhiitesu, showing mercy to all conditioned souls. The best
way to show mercy is to spread Krsna consciousness. The entire world is
suffering for want of this knowledge. People should know that the Supreme
Personality of Godhead is the original cause of everything. Knowing this,
everyone should directly engage in His devotional service. Those who are
actually learned, advanced in spiritual understanding, should preach Krsna
consciousness all over the world so that people may take to it and make
their lives successful.

The word sarva-bhitesu is significant because it applies not only to
human beings but to all the living entities appearing in the 8,400,000
species of life. The devotee can do good not only to humanity but to all
living entities as well. Everyone can benefit spiritually by the chanting of
the Hare Krsna mahd-mantra. When the transcendental vibration of Hare
Krsna is sounded, even the trees, animals and insects benefit. Thus when
one chants the Hare Krsna mahd-mantra loudly, he actually shows mercy
to all living entities. To spread the Krsna consciousness movement through-
out the world, the devotees should be satisfied in all conditions.

It does not matter to the pure devotee if he has to go to hell to preach.
The Supreme Lord lives in the heart of a hog, although the Lord is in
Vaikuntha. Even while preaching in hell, a pure devotee remains a pure
devotee by his constant association with the Supreme Personality of God-
