Description
This sixth volume (Reflections On Sacred Teachings (Volume 6)) of commentary shines a spotlight on the central element of Vaisnava character–service to others–as described in ancient scriptures such as the Padma Purana and Narada-pancharatra and in medieval works such as Chaitanya-charitamrta and writing of the Gosvamis of Vrindavana.
These texts differentiate salvationists, whose primary interest is their own safety, from Vaisnavas, who place higher value on the well-being of others. Effective spiritualists honor God within their own hearts and the hearts of others, a gesture that energizes rather than dampens enthusiasm and initiative.
