Lecture on SB 5.5.1-2 -- Paris, August 12, 1973:

We should request you, we have opened this branch of Kṛṣṇa consciousness movement just to give chance to everyone to come here and associate with the saintly devotees, and make your life very successful.

I shall finish this lecture by reading one line only. The symptoms of saintly person is given: mahāntas te sama-cittāḥ praśāntā vimanyavaḥ suhṛdaḥ sādhavo ye. Who is saintly personality? That is given here: mahāntas te sama-cittāḥ. Sama-cittāḥ means they are equiposed; means they're not agitated by the worldly activities. That means, it is described in the Bhagavad-gītā, brahma-bhūtaḥ prasannātmā (BG 18.54). This, one of the qualification is sama-cittāḥ, "Not disturbed by worldly activities." Because in the worldly activities, either you make some profit or make some loss. So our position is when we get some profit we are very jubilant, but when we are losing something, we are very morose, unhappy. But a mahānta is equipoised. He is neither very happy when he makes profit, neither at all sorry when he makes losses. This is the first sign.

Mahat-sevam . . . mahāntas te sama-cittāḥ praśāntā. Praśāntā means very peaceful. This is another qualification. Mahāntas te sama-cittāḥ praśāntā, vimanyavaḥ: he is never angry. Suhṛdaḥ: and he's a well-wisher. He's well-wisher not only for the human race, suhṛdaṁ sarva-bhūtānām (BG 5.29)—for all living entities. Like this person just, who are very friendly to the human being, but they send the poor animals to the slaughterhouse.

(break) . . . saintly person. Saintly person is suhṛdaṁ sarva-bhūtānām; for all living entities he's friend. Suhṛdaḥ and sādhavaḥ. Sādhavaḥ means well behaved. Sādhavaḥ sādhu-bhūṣanāḥ, well behaved. The well behavior is described in the śāstra, to become a devotee of the Lord. (break) . . . of saintly person is to become devotee of the Lord.
