750630 Lecture - Srila Prabhupada Speaks a Nectar Drop in Denver
| Nectar Drops from Srila Prabhupada |
"Sādhavaḥ means saintly. What are the saintly characteristics? That is also mentioned:
These are the characteristics of sādhu—not a sādhu having a dress like a sannyāsī and accompanied by three dozen women. No. Sādhavaḥ, their business is to preach. Kṛṣṇa says, api cet sudurācāro bhajate mām ananya-bhāk sādhur eva sa mantavyaḥ . . . (BG 9.30) He is sādhu, who are engaged in Kṛṣṇa consciousness movement. Api cet sudurācāraḥ. Such person, even if you find some fault . . . Because everyone cannot become immediately perfect. Due to bad habits, sometimes they fall victim. But still, if he is Kṛṣṇa conscious strictly—he does not deviate, he does not forget Kṛṣṇa—then he is to be accepted as sādhu. Kṛṣṇa says. That, only for that qualification. Bhajate mām ananya-bhāk. That is the qualification of Kṛṣṇa consciousness movement." |
