bālānāṁ mati-bhid dhareḥ
bālānāṁ mati-bhid dhareḥ
pārṣada-madhye carasi
yaśo-hā nirapatrapaḥ
Without compassion, destroying the mind of young boys and destroying the Lord’s fame among the devotees of the Lord, you travel about without shame,.
“What can I say to such an evil person as you? The Lord becomes defamed by servants like you.” You are without compassion. You spoil the intelligence fixed in performing karmas according to scripture. You have destroyed the fame of the Lord.” This means that you have committed offense against the Lord, among the Vaiṣṇavas, among the devotees of the Lord like me. That offense is therefore difficult to remove. What to speak of doing bad activities, being without compassion, being without remorse and betraying trust!
|| 6.5.39 ||
nanu bhāgavatā nityaṁ
bhūtānugraha-kātarāḥ
ṛte tvāṁ sauhṛda-ghnaṁ vai
vairaṅ-karam avairiṇām
Except for you, who are breaker of friendship and producer of enmity among those with enmity, the devotees are always compassionate to the living beings.
“You have come before me and what type of face will you show? You are so shameless!” Devotees are compassionate, but you show violence to other beings. I have shown friendship to you but you have broken friendship with me. You create enmity. Having shown explicit enmity to me, what type of face are you showing me? You are certainly shameless. Thus I am making you just a little ashamed.
|| 6.5.40 ||
netthaṁ puṁsāṁ virāgaḥ syāt
tvayā kevalinā mṛṣā
manyase yady upaśamaṁ
sneha-pāśa-nikṛntanam
Though you think that renunciation will bring tranquility and cut the knots of affection, real detachment will not arise simply by your false show in which you bewilder innocent boys.
“I recommend renunciation. From that arises tranquility of mind and from that comes cutting the knot of affection. How can you say your sons are not qualified for liberation because you think that they do not come to you, their father? It is not necessary for a renounced person to pay his three debts. Śruti says:
yad ahar eva virajyet, tad ahar eva pravrajet
yadi cetarathā brahmacaryād eva pravrajet
When one becomes detached one should leave the house. If circumstances are otherwise, one can renounce from brahmacārī life itself. Jābāla Upaniṣad
And I have given mercy to them through teachings on detachment.”
It is true that detachment is possible by the mercy of great devotees. Though you have bewildered the minds of these boys and for seven or eight days they show detachment, real detachment arising from correct rules will not appear by this false show--dressing as a renunciate without having knowledge, or thinking that you are a pure Vaiṣṇava. Though you think of tranquility, that will not arise since you are not a great devotee.
