deva - unto the demigods; ṛṣi - saintly persons; pitá¹› - forefathers; bhÅ«tebhyaḥ - the living entities in general; Ätmane - relatives; sva-janÄya - family members and friends; ca - and; annam - foodstuff (prasÄda); saá¹vibhajan - offering; paÅ›yet - one should see; sarvam - all; tat - them; puruá¹£a-Ätmakam - related to the Supreme Personality of Godhead.
One should offer prasÄda to the demigods, the saintly persons, one’s forefathers, the people in general, one’s family members, one’s relatives and one’s friends, seeing them all as devotees of the Supreme Personality of Godhead.
As mentioned above, it is recommended that everyone distribute prasÄda, considering every living being a part and parcel of the Supreme Lord. Even in feeding the poor, one should distribute prasÄda. In Kali-yuga there is a scarcity of food almost every year, and thus philanthropists spend lavishly to feed the poor. For this they invent the term daridra-nÄrÄyaṇa-sevÄ. This is prohibited. One should distribute sumptuous prasÄda, considering everyone a part of the Supreme Lord, but one should not juggle words to make a poor man NÄrÄyaṇa. Everyone is related to the Supreme Lord, but one should not mistakenly think that because one is related to the Supreme Personality of Godhead, he has become the Supreme Personality of Godhead, NÄrÄyaṇa. Such a MÄyÄvÄda philosophy is extremely dangerous, especially for a devotee. ÅšrÄ« Caitanya MahÄprabhu has therefore strictly forbidden us to associate with MÄyÄvÄdÄ« philosophers. MÄyÄvÄdi-bhÄá¹£ya Å›unile haya sarva-nÄÅ›a: if one associates with the MÄyÄvÄda philosophy, his devotional life is doomed.
