sa hy ātmā dayito hitaḥ
sa hy ātmā dayito hitaḥ
Even a small shadow of actions for the Lord does not go in vain. The Lord, the soul of the person, is affectionate to the person and acts as his benefactor.
Even a little action offered to you gives huge results. And lots of actions not offered to you give no result. Even a small (avamaḥ) trace of action (karma-kalpaḥ) is not without result, since (hi) the Lord, the soul of the person, is affectionate and acts of one’s benefit. Respect for the Lord brings results, and disrespect for the Lord brings failure.
|| 8.5.49 ||
yathā hi skandha-śākhānāṁ
taror mūlāvasecanam
evam ārādhanaṁ viṣṇoḥ
sarveṣām ātmanaś ca hi
Just as pouring water on the root benefits the trunk and branches, so worship of Viṣṇu, the soul of all beings, benefits all beings.
However, even if one does not perform actions (prescribed duties), if one worships the Lord, one receives all the results of all actions. Without worship of the Lord, all actions are without result. An example is given to illustrate this.
|| 8.5.50 ||
namas tubhyam anantāya
durvitarkyātma-karmaṇe
nirguṇāya guṇeśāya
sattva-sthāya ca sāmpratam
We offer respects to you, unlimited, whose actions are inconceivable, who may or may not offer us material benedictions, but who now maintains sattva-guṇa in the universe.
Whether you will fulfill our desire or not, we do not know. You are unlimited. Though we are omniscient, we do not have your omniscience. We cannot surmise what you will do now. Your actions are inconceivable. “But because I am merciful, you can infer that I will fulfill the desires of Indra and other devotees.” By your mercy you do not give material benefits arising from the guṇas (nirguṇāya), which are obstacles to bhakti. But by your mercy, you give wealth arising from the guṇas. Therefore both results can be inferred. “Why do you praise me, if you have such doubts?” Since now is the time for sattva-guṇa, and you are in charge of sattva-guṇa, you should increase the power of the devatās who are in sattva-guṇa. They also believe that the Lord should not stop their material enjoyment, since they are not pure devotees.
Thus ends the commentary on the Fifth Chapter of the Eighth Canto of the Bhāgavatam for the pleasure of the devotees, in accordance with the previous ācāryas.
