204 Srimad-Bhagavatam [Canto 7, Ch. 15
jandya—family members and friends; ca—and; annam—foodstuff
(prasada); samvibhajan—offering; pasyet—one should see; sarvam—
all; tat—them; purusa-dtmakam—related to the Supreme Personality of
Godhead.
TRANSLATION

One should offer prasada to the demigods, the saintly persons,
one’s forefathers, the people in general, one’s family members,
one’s relatives and one’s friends, seeing them all as devotees of the
Supreme Personality of Godhead.

PURPORT

As mentioned above, it is recommended that everyone distribute
prasdda, considering every living being a part and parcel of the Supreme
Lord. Even in feeding the poor, one should distribute prasdda. In Kali-
yuga there is a scarcity of food almost every year, and thus
philanthropists spend lavishly to feed the poor. For this they invent the
term daridra-nardyana-seva. This is prohibited. One should distribute
sumptuous prasdda, considering everyone a part of the Supreme Lord,
but one should not juggle words to make a poor man Narayana. Everyone
is related to the Supreme Lord, but one should not mistakenly think that
because one is related to the Supreme Personality of Godhead, he has be-
come the Supreme Personality of Godhead, Narayana. Such a Mayavada
philosophy is extremely dangerous, especially for a devotee. Sri Caitanya
Mahaprabhu has therefore strictly forbidden us to associate with
Mayavadi philosophers. Maydvddi-bhdsya sunile haya sarva-ndsa: if
one associates with the Mayavada philosophy, his devotional life is
doomed.
