yat - whose; sevayÄ - by serving; aÅ›eá¹£a - unlimited; guhÄ-ÄÅ›ayaḥ - dwelling within the heart of everyone; sva-rÄá¹ - but still fully independent; vipra-priyaḥ - very dear to the brÄhmaṇas and Vaiṣṇavas; tuá¹£yati - becomes satisfied; kÄmam - of desires; Ä«Å›varaḥ - the Supreme Personality of Godhead; tat - that; eva - certainly; tat-dharma-paraiḥ - by following in the footsteps of the Lord; vinÄ«taiḥ - by humbleness; sarva-ÄtmanÄ - in all respects; brahma-kulam - the descendants of brÄhmaṇas and Vaiṣṇavas; niá¹£evyatÄm - always being engaged in their service.
The Supreme Personality of Godhead, who is everlastingly independent and who exists in everyone’s heart, is very pleased with those who follow in His footsteps and engage without reservation in the service of the descendants of brÄhmaṇas and Vaiṣṇavas, for He is always dear to brÄhmaṇas and Vaiṣṇavas and they are always dear to Him.
It is said that the Lord is most pleased when He sees one engage in the service of His devotee. He does not need any service from anyone because He is complete, but it is in our own interest to offer all kinds of services to the Supreme Personality of Godhead. These services can be offered to the Supreme Person not directly but through the service of brÄhmaṇas and Vaiṣṇavas. ÅšrÄ«la Narottama dÄsa ṬhÄkura sings, chÄá¸iyÄ vaiṣṇava-sevÄ nistÄra pÄyeche kebÄ, which means that unless one serves the Vaiṣṇavas and brÄhmaṇas, one cannot get liberation from the material clutches. ÅšrÄ«la ViÅ›vanÄtha CakravartÄ« ṬhÄkura also says, yasya prasÄdÄd bhagavat-prasÄdaḥ: by satisfying the senses of the spiritual master, one can satisfy the senses of the Supreme Personality of Godhead. Thus this behavior is not only mentioned in scriptures but also followed by ÄcÄryas. Pá¹›thu MahÄrÄja advised his citizens to follow the exemplary behavior of the Lord Himself and thus engage in the service of brÄhmaṇas and Vaiṣṇavas.
