Text 26] Prahlada Instructs His Demoniac Schoolmates 35

persons who are completely transcendental to the material activities of
separateness, who make no distinction between “mine” and “yours,” but
who simply engage in the devotional service of the Lord, are actually fit
to accept bhdgavata-dharma (dharman bhagavatan iha). Because they
are nirmatsara, not jealous of anyone, they want to make others devo-
tees, even their enemies. In this regard, Srila Madhvacarya remarks,
kariksate moksa-gam api sukham nakdnksato yathé. Devotees are not
desirous of any material happiness, including the happiness derived
from liberation. This is called anyabhildsita-siinyam jnana-karmady-
anavrtam. Karmis desire material happiness, and jndnis desire libera-
tion, but a devotee does not desire anything; he is simply satisfied by
rendering transcendental loving service at the lotus feet of the Lord and
glorifying Him everywhere by preaching, which is his life and soul.
