Sadhus should have tolerance, the quality of forgiveness and forbearance, because sadhus have no desires except Krishna's satisfaction. When there are other ulterior desires, motives or obstructions, a person becomes enraged. Sadhus have no desires except Krishna's service. They are dedicated to His service. They do not want money, name and fame. So if there is any obstruction in getting money, name or fame, a sadhu will not be enraged. Those who have material desires will be enraged. Their minds will be bewildered.

But nobody can disturb the mind of a sadhu. Titiksvah – sadhus have tolerance. Sadhus are compassionate to all the jivas. They are seeing that the jivas are suffering afflictions in this world. The jivas have the heart to see Krishna and they have got no reason to be afflicted. We are the sons and daughters of the same Supreme Father. Why should we cry? The afflicted are not remembering Him and taking shelter. So suddha bhaktas go from one place to another to help the afflicted jivas.

Our coming here is a great mistake – running after phantasmagoria. It is like living in a desert. Your requirement is Krishna. Worship Him and you will get everything. For this reason, sadhus are compassionate to all – titiksvah karunika, suhrdah sarve dehinam.

Sadhus are most beloved to Sri Krishna. They have no notion of friend or foe – ajata satravah santah. They think “All are coming from the beloved Sri Krishna. I am the enemy of myself. I have no enemies in this world but my mind is my greatest enemy. Most beloved is Sri Krishna and all are serving Sri Krishna in a positive or negative way. Hiranyakasipu is serving in a negative way and Prahlad is serving in a positive way. I am not serving Krishna. I am most unfortunate”. The sadhu always thinks like this.

There is no enviousness in the sadhu – ajata satravah santah. Sadhus have got tranquillity of mind. They are calm and serene. They have got no desire except to fulfil the desire of Sri Krishna. Their duties are enjoined in the scriptures. They are simple hearted and are not crooked.
