Persons who are peaceful, equipoised, cleansed and purified, and who know the art of pleasing all other living entities, keep friendship only with the devotees of the Lord; they alone can very easily achieve the perfection of going back home, back to Godhead."
P - Peaceful (shaantaah): If we are peaceful it means that we have no demands for sense gratification. This ensures that we are not at all envious of other living entities.
E - Equipoised (sama-drshah): A devotee sees everyone on the same transcendental platform. A devotee sees all living entities with spiritual vision and does not discriminate on the platform of the bodily concept of life. Thus ‘seeing with discrimination’ is counteracted by equipoise nature.
P - Purified (shuddhah): A devotee is always purified by constant chanting of the Hare Krishna mahamantra and hence no contamination of the material world can touch him. This counteracts the polluted mind or the mean mindedness.
S - Satisfying all the living entities (sarva bhuta anuranjanaah) : A devotee knows the art of pleasing all the living entities with high class behaviour . A devotee’s speech is always gentle and pleasing and this counteracts the piercing words which displeases the living entities.
I – Intimate relationship with the devotees of the Lord (acyuta priya baandhavaah): When we go on associating with iswara minded people, then we come to understand that the supreme Lord is the bonafide enjoyer of all the fruitive activities and hence the tendency that ‘I am the enjoyer’ is counteracted.
Thus the Krishna conscious PEPSI as above will take us to Krishna (Ease) and the bad behavioural PEPSI is like the bottled Pepsi and will take us away from Krishna (Disease).
I pray to the spiritual master, the Supreme Lord for their unlimited mercy on this poor soul who has inherited this deep rooted malady by constantly reminding me of this transcendental PEPSI and develop those qualities in this life itself.
Thank you very much.
