So Prahlāda Mahārāja was that type of ''mahā-bhāgavatam''. He was not . . . As a child, he had . . . He did not know the sophistry or formality to become unnecessarily very prestigious. He was by nature a small boy. Just like here, these boys: If you insult, he doesn't care for it because he is child. Or if you praise him, he does not think himself very much puffed up. This is child's nature. So Prahlāda Mahārāja was in that position. He didn't care. His father wanted to chastise him in so many ways. He didn't care. He always thinking, "He is my father. He is joking, that's all." This is simplicity. This is simplicity. This simplicity is very valuable. So Prahlāda Mahārāja was in that position. Therefore Brahmā selected him, that "My dear Prahlāda, my dear child, please approach the Lord. You can try to pacify Him." ''Prahrādaṁ preṣayām āsa brahmāvasthitam antike'', ''tāta'': "My dear child, my dear boy," ''tāta praśamayo upehi'', "please go forward and try to pacify Him." ''Sva-pitre kupitaṁ prabhum'': "Our Lord, Prabhu, He has become very, very angry." Nobody can excess in His anger. Just like nobody can excel the Supreme Personality of Godhead in anything, similarly, when He is angry, nobody can excel Him. He becomes so angry. So He is always . . . "God is great" means great in everything. When He is angry, nobody can excel Him in His anger. And when He is very peaceful, nobody can excel Him. This is God. ''Asamaurdha''.

God means nobody is equal; nobody is greater. So when the Lord was angry, nobody can show His anger equally and nobody can become greatly anger or more greatly angry than Kṛṣṇa. He is always topmost. This is . . . So such anger was exhibited. Why? Now it is said, ''sva-pitre kupitam''. He's inducing, Brahmā inducing, that "We never seen the Lord so angry, but it is on account of your father, so it is your duty. You go there." (chuckles) The child will accept, "Yes, my father committed so many offenses. Therefore it is my duty to pacify the Lord." Therefore he is reminding because he was a child, "My dear child, it is for your father He has become so angry, so it is your duty. Go and pacify Him." So every word in ''Bhāgavata'', there is meaning. ''Sva-pitre kupitaṁ prabhum'': "Don't think that it is our duty; it is your duty. Although we are Brahmā, Lakṣmī, all right. So real duty is yours." This is little joking.

So Prahlāda Mahārāja is prepared, "All right," either for his father or for everyone. That is Vaiṣṇava. Vaiṣṇava does not consider that "I have to pray to Kṛṣṇa for my father, for my mother." No. Vaiṣṇava is ready to offer prayer . . . ''Para-duḥkha-duḥkhī''. He is always unhappy seeing these fallen conditioned souls unhappy. Other . . . Vaiṣṇava personally, he has no unhappiness. ''Naivodvije para duratyaya-vaitaraṇyāḥ ''([[Vanisource:SB 7.9.43|SB 7.9.43]]). That will be explained. ''Tvad-vīrya-gāyana-mahāmṛta-magna-cittaḥ'', ''śoce tato vimukha-cetasa'', ''indriyārtha-māya-sukhāya bharam udvahato vimūḍhān ''([[Vanisource:SB 7.9.43|SB 7.9.43]]). So Vaiṣṇava is always sorry for the rascals in the world. Otherwise, he has nothing to be unhappy. He can sit down anywhere; he can sleep anywhere; he can eat anything. He doesn't require anyone's help. He . . . As Kṛṣṇa is self-sufficient, similarly, Kṛṣṇa, not exactly like that, but a Vaiṣṇava is also self-sufficient, depending only on Kṛṣṇa. That is Vaiṣṇava. So he has nothing to lament or nothing to regret. He is always pleased in the service of the Lord, but he is always sorry for the conditioned souls who are suffering the material pangs on account of ignorance.</p>
