As explained in the next verse, KášášŁáša is the original source of all living entities. This is confirmed in Bhagavad-gÄŤtÄ (15.7), wherein KášášŁáša says:
mamaivÄášĹo jÄŤva-loke
jÄŤva-bhĹŤtaḼ sanÄtanaḼ
manaḼ ᚣaᚣášhÄnÄŤndriyÄáši
prakášti-sthÄni karᚣati
âThe living entities in this conditioned world are My eternal, fragmental parts. Due to conditioned life, they are struggling very hard with the six senses, which include the mind.â All living entities are part and parcel of KášášŁáša, and therefore when they revive their original KášášŁáša consciousness, they possess all the good qualities of KášášŁáša in a small quantity. When one engages himself in the nine processes of devotional service (Ĺravaášaáš kÄŤrtanaáš viᚣášoḼ smaraášaáš pÄda-sevanam/ arcanaáš vandanaáš dÄsyaáš sakhyam Ätma-nivedanam), oneâs heart becomes purified, and he immediately understands his relationship with KášášŁáša. He then revives his original quality of KášášŁáša consciousness.
In the Ädi-lÄŤlÄ of Caitanya-caritÄmášta, Chapter Eight, there is a description of some of the qualities of devotees. For example, ĹrÄŤ Paášá¸ita HaridÄsa is described as being very well-behaved, tolerant, peaceful, magnanimous and grave. In addition, he spoke very sweetly, his endeavors were very pleasing, he was always patient, he respected everyone, he always worked for everyoneâs benefit, his mind was free of duplicity, and he was completely devoid of all malicious activities. These are all originally qualities of KášášŁáša, and when one becomes a devotee they automatically become manifest. ĹrÄŤ KášášŁášadÄsa KavirÄja, the author of Caitanya-caritÄmášta, says that all good qualities become manifest in the body of a Vaiᚣášava and that only by the presence of these good qualities can one distinguish a Vaiᚣášava from a non-Vaiᚣášava. KášášŁášadÄsa KavirÄja lists the following twenty-six good qualities of a Vaiᚣášava: (1) He is very kind to everyone. (2) He does not make anyone his enemy. (3) He is truthful. (4) He is equal to everyone. (5) No one can find any fault in him. (6) He is magnanimous. (7) He is mild. (8) He is always clean. (9) He is without possessions. (10) He works for everyoneâs benefit. (11) He is very peaceful. (12) He is always surrendered to KášášŁáša. (13) He has no material desires. (14) He is very meek. (15) He is steady. (16) He controls his senses. (17) He does not eat more than required. (18) He is not influenced by the Lordâs illusory energy. (19) He offers respect to everyone. (20) He does not desire any respect for himself. (21) He is very grave. (22) He is merciful. (23) He is friendly. (24) He is poetic. (25) He is expert. (26) He is silent.
