Well-wisher to all. Well-wisher. Just like we are advising our all student that "Save your country. They are becoming hippies. It is not . . . future is very gloom. Try to save them." So Vaiṣṇava will always think like that, how people will be happy. Sarve sukhino bhavantu. A Vaiṣṇava desire is not exploitation. Vaiṣṇava desire is that "How others will be happy. How they will understand Kṛṣṇa. How they will get happiness in this life and next life." This is Vaiṣṇava.

Faultless. You cannot find any fault of the devotee. Faultless. Magnanimous: thinking of all living entities. There is no distinction, "Oh, I am American, I shall think for the Americans," "I am Indian, I shall think for . . ." No. Magnanimous. And the most magnanimous is Lord Caitanya. Namo mahā-vadānyāya kṛṣṇa-prema-pradāya te (CC Madhya 19.53). Magnanimous, giving kṛṣṇa-prema, which is very rare. Kṛṣṇa says, manuṣyāṇāṁ sahasreṣu kaścid yatati siddhaye (BG 7.3). It is very difficult to understand what is Kṛṣṇa, and Lord Caitanya is distributing Kṛṣṇa like anything. Therefore mahā-vadānyāya, magnanimous.

Mild. Mild and meek. Clean. Always cleanliness. Because they have surpassed the stage of brahminical life. Therefore, must be very clean: by taking bath, by washing cloth, keeping the kitchen very clean, everything clean. Temples . . . tan-mandira-mārjanādisu.

Śrī-vigrahārādhana-nitya-nānā-śṛṅgāra-tan-mandira-mārjanādau. The temple should be, I mean, bright, always clean. Then nonpossessive. Materialistic person, they are trying to possess more, more, more. A Vaiṣṇava, simply what is absolutely necessary must have. Just like we don't keep any furniture in our hou . . . what is the use of furniture? We can lie down on the floor. So many things, materialistic persons they possess. But we try to simplify the matter, plain living.

Well-wisher to all. Well-wisher. Just like we are advising our all student that "Save your country. They are becoming hippies. It is not . . . future is very gloom. Try to save them." So Vaiṣṇava will always think like that, how people will be happy. Sarve sukhino bhavantu. A Vaiṣṇava desire is not exploitation. Vaiṣṇava desire is that "How others will be happy. How they will understand Kṛṣṇa. How they will get happiness in this life and next life." This is Vaiṣṇava.

Satisfied, in any condition. Not that, "I must have all these things; then I'll be satisfied. Otherwise, I'm going from the temple." (laughs) No, this is not Vaiṣṇava qualification. You must live with the devotees, even if you are not satisfied. Any condition, you should be satisfied. Because as soon as you leave the company, you become again rogues, again demon. At least you'll be saved if you keep with the company of the devotees. Satāṁ prasaṅgān mama vīrya-saṁvidaḥ (SB 3.25.25). If you give up the company, then you again become rogues and demons. Therefore you must be satisfied, in whatever condition. "Whatever Kṛṣṇa has given, that's all right." Satisfied.
