mahÄnubhÄvera cittera svabhÄva ei haya
puá¹£pa-sama komala, kaá¹hina vajra-maya
mahÄ-anubhÄvera - of a great personality; cittera - of the mind; svabhÄva - the nature; ei haya - this is; puá¹£pa-sama - like a flower; komala - soft; kaá¹hina - hard; vajra-maya - like a thunderbolt.
This is the nature of the mind of an uncommon personality. Sometimes it is soft like a flower, but sometimes it is as hard as a thunderbolt.
The softness of a flower and the hardness of a thunderbolt are reconciled in the behavior of a great personality. The following quotation from Uttara-rÄma-carita (2.7) explains this behavior. One may also consult the Madhya-lÄ«lÄ, third chapter, verse 212.
