Lectures and Commentaries on Srimad Bhagavatam Canto 2, made in Vrindavan (India)
The purpose of Śrīmad Bhāgavatam is to glorify the Supreme Absolute Truth, known as Śrī Kṛṣṇa, for the benefit of the suffering humanity. Śrī Vyāsa himself calls this Purāṇa the ripened fruit of the Vedic tree and compares it to the personification of rasa, or devotional relish. It is to be tasted by the rasikas, the connoisseurs of rasa, and relished by the sahṛdayas, the sober-hearted people or those whose hearts are imbued with sattva (SB 1.1.3)
Don’t upset the minds of people who are ignorant. You should think that you belong to Krishna and you don’t want Him to be criticized because of something you say or do. This is where awareness comes in. You have to constantly be watching every situation – study yourself and decide how is the best way to act that would most please Sri Krishna.
