বৈষ্ণবের গুণগ্রাহী, না দেখয়ে দোষ ।
কায়মনোবাক্যে করে বৈষ্ণব-সন্তোষ ॥ ৬২ ॥ vaisnavera guna-grahi, na dekhaye dosa
kaya-mano-vakye kare vaisnava-santosa
SYNONYMS
vaisnavera-of devotees; guna-grahi-accepting good qualities; na-never; dekhaye-sees; dosa-any fault; kaya-manaḥ-vakye-with heart and soul; kare-does; vaisnava-devotee; santosa-pacification.
TRANSLATION
He always accepted the good qualities of Vaisnavas and never found fault in them. He engaged his heart and soul only to satisfy the Vaisnavas.
PURPORT
It is a qualification of a Vaisnava that he is adosa-darsi; he never sees others' faults. Of course, every human being has both good qualities and faults. Therefore it is said, sajjana gunam icchanti dosam icchanti pamaraḥ: everyone has a combination of faults and glories. But a Vaisnava, a sober man, accepts only a man's glories and not his faults, for flies seek sores whereas honeybees seek honey. Haridasa Panḍita never found fault with a Vaisnava but considered only his good qualities.
