nature and act without ennity or duality. Show mercy to all living

their well-wishers.

PURPORT
The Lord says in Bhagatad-gita (18.55), bhaktya mam abhijanati

yavan yas cdsmi tattvatah: “One can understand the Supreme Per-
sonality as He is only by devotional service.” Prahlada Maharaja
ultimately instructed his clas friends, the sons of the demons, to accept
the process of devotional service by preaching the science of Krsna con-
sciousness to everyone. Preaching is the best service to the Lord. The
Lord will immediately be extremely satisfied with one who engages in
this service of preaching Krsna consciousness. This is confirmed by the
Lord Himself in Bhagavaa-gita (18.69). Na ca tasman manusyesu
kascin me priya-krttamah: “There is no servant in this world more dear
to Me than he, nor will there ever be one more dear.”’ If one sincerely
tries his best to spread Krsma consciousness by preaching the glories of
the Lord and His supremacy, even if he is imperfectly educated, he be-
comes the dearmost servant cf the Supreme Personality of Godhead. This
is bhakti. As one performs this service for humanity, without discrimina-
tion between friends and enemies, the Lord becomes satisfied, and the
mission of one’s life is fulfiled. Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu therefore ad-
vised everyone to become a guru-devotee and preach Krsna conscious-
ness (ydre dekha, tare kaha ‘krsna’-upadeéa). That is the easiest way to
realize the Supreme Persorality of Godhead. By such preaching, the
preacher becomes satisfied, and those to whom he preaches are also
satisfied. This is the process of bringing peace and tranquility to the en-
tire world.
