सर्वेन्द्रियोपशान्त्या च तुष्यत्याशु जनार्दनः ॥१९॥
dayayÄ sarva-bhÅ«teá¹£u
santuá¹£á¹yÄ yena kena vÄ
sarvendriyopaÅ›ÄntyÄ ca
tuá¹£yaty ÄÅ›u janÄrdanaḥ
dayayÄ - by showing mercy; sarva-bhÅ«teá¹£u - to all living entities; santuá¹£á¹yÄ - by being satisfied; yena kena vÄ - somehow or other; sarva-indriya - all the senses; upaÅ›ÄntyÄ - by controlling; ca - also; tuá¹£yati - becomes satisfied; ÄÅ›u - very soon; janÄrdanaḥ - the Lord of all living entities.
By showing mercy to all living entities, being satisfied somehow or other, and restricting the senses from sense enjoyment, one can very quickly satisfy the Supreme Personality of Godhead, JanÄrdana.
These are some of the ways in which the Supreme Personality of Godhead can be satisfied by the devotee. The first item mentioned is dayayÄ sarva-bhÅ«teá¹£u, showing mercy to all conditioned souls. The best way to show mercy is to spread Kṛṣṇa consciousness. The entire world is suffering for want of this knowledge. People should know that the Supreme Personality of Godhead is the original cause of everything. Knowing this, everyone should directly engage in His devotional service. Those who are actually learned, advanced in spiritual understanding, should preach Kṛṣṇa consciousness all over the world so that people may take to it and make their lives successful.
The word sarva-bhÅ«teá¹£u is significant because it applies not only to human beings but to all the living entities appearing in the 8,400,000 species of life. The devotee can do good not only to humanity but to all living entities as well. Everyone can benefit spiritually by the chanting of the Hare Kṛṣṇa mahÄ-mantra. When the transcendental vibration of Hare Kṛṣṇa is sounded, even the trees, animals and insects benefit. Thus when one chants the Hare Kṛṣṇa mahÄ-mantra loudly, he actually shows mercy to all living entities. To spread the Kṛṣṇa consciousness movement throughout the world, the devotees should be satisfied in all conditions:
nÄrÄyaṇa-parÄḥ sarve
na kutaścana bibhyati
svargÄpavarga-narakeá¹£v
api tulyÄrtha-darÅ›inaḥ
(BhÄg. 6.17.28)
It does not matter to the pure devotee if he has to go to hell to preach. The Supreme Lord lives in the heart of a hog, although the Lord is in Vaikuṇá¹ha. Even while preaching in hell, a pure devotee remains a pure devotee by his constant association with the Supreme Personality of Godhead. To attain this state, one has to control his senses. The senses are automatically controlled when one’s mind is engaged in the service of the Lord.
