At the same time, you have to become merciful. You know what has happened in this place, Hare Krishna Land. So much attack by the police, by the Municipality, "Break this temple." So we could have gone, that "What is the use of taking so much botheration? We have got hundreds of temples outside India. If Bombay people are not liking, let us go away." No. Karunikah. We have come to distribute Krsna consciousness movement. We must tolerate and give this message to the people. Karunikah. Very merciful, in spite of all trouble. What is the use of...? These boys, these American boys, they have come to help me-not that they are hungry, they have come here. No. My mission is that "You American, your..., you chant Hare Krsna so that India, people of India will see, 'Oh, Americans, they are also chanting. Why not ourselves? It is our property.' " But unfortunately, so much dull brain. But that is not coming. But still, we have to do it. We have to tolerate and we have to become karunikah.
(More...) Titiksavah karunikah suhrdah sarva-dehinam, ajata-satravah [SB 3.25.21]. Because he is living in that way, why others will be enemy? Or, he does not create enemy. They become enemy out of their own character. We do not create enemy, but due to the demonic qualification... How we can create enemy? Krsna says that sarva-dharman parityajya mam ekam saranam vraja [Bg 18.66]. We are simply teaching, "My dear human being, my dear friend, you become a surrendered soul to Krsna." So what is our fault? So we don't create enemy, but they become enemy. We don't create enemy. Why shall I create enemy? Suhrdah sarva-dehinam. Why shall I create enemy? But they become, out of their own nature... Just like serpent. Nobody creates a serpent enemy, but he's already enemy. Sarpah krurah khalah krurah sarpat kruratarah khalah. Canakya Pandita says, "There are two crooked animals, or envious animals." What is that? One man, envious. Without any reason, he becomes envious. And there is one serpent, envious. Without any fault, it will bite, and your death. Sarpah krurah khalah krurah. Similarly, there are men-without any offense, they'll become enemy. Unnecessarily. So Canakya Pandita says, sarpah krurah khalah krurah. There are two envious entities. Sarpat kruratarah khalah. The crooked man is more dangerous than the serpent. Why? Mantrausadhi sa-rupa[?] sah sarpah: sarpa, the serpent, can be subdued by mantra, by chanting, snake-chanting mantra, or by some herbs. Khalah kena nivaryate: The man envious, it cannot be subdued. Therefore he's more dangerous than the serpent.
(More...) So we are in this society, human society. Because we are spreading Krsna consciousness, the krurah, which is more dangerous than a snake, they are putting, putting so many impediments. But we have to tolerate. We have no other alternative. You see? Ajata-satravah santah. Be peaceful. What can be done? Depend on Krsna. Sadhavah. They are sadhu. They are sadhu. Sadhu-bhusanah. These are the ornament of sadhu. What is that? Titiksavah karunikah suhrdah sarva-dehinam [SB 3.25.21]. Sadhusu krtah. But you must know what is sadhu. First, sadhu is that he must be devotee. And if he's devotee, then all the symptoms are there. All the symptoms are there. These are the symptoms. Now, don't go to a sadhu... Sastra says that this is the sadhu. Now, you find out a sadhu and associate with him. Then your path of liberation will be open.
