Dealing with devotees = Dealing with Holy Name!

Verse 1.16.25 (Yugal Kishore Prji):

* So today, we are reading the shloka relating to the discussion between Mother Earth (cow) and the Dharma (the bull).
* Mother Earth is saying to Dharma: Whatever you have inquired from me shall be known to you. I shall try to reply to all those questions. Once you too were maintained by your four legs, and you increased happiness all over the universe by the mercy of the Lord.
* Dharma means the laws enunciated by the Lord. And there is somebody who is watching whether we are following dharma or not. So please do not take it very easy.
* Kaliyuga means no time, busy busy. But what are we busy for, SP comments: Going to hell!
* So there is ultimate need for cleansing of the heart.
* Dharmo raksati raksithaha - If you protect Dharma, then Dharma will protect you.
* 4 regulative principles are just to become a human being. But are we trying to become a devotee.
* Another wonderful point SP makes: The best part of valor is to maintain the principles despite all kinds of odds.
* Complacency is death to spiritual life. We are chanting, but is it changing my heart, is the question we need to ask.
* If we are not service oriented and are arrogant in thinking we are better than others, then we cannot progress in any way.
* If you are extremely sincere, you will never get to see Dharma raja.
* Story: Krishna bringing back Maharaj Mrga from the lizard form. (Never steal the property of a Brahmana, cause Maharaj Mrga accidentally kind of stole the property of a brahmana, the same which he himself had donated to the brahmana.)
* The way we deal with the devotees, that is the way we deal with the Holy name!
* To please Krishna, we have to sincerely chant the holy name, serve the devotees humbly and become servant of the servant of the servant!
