Qualities of Pure devotees: Repentance (contd).

Verse 1.19.1 (Krishna Patro Prji):

* In the previous chapter Shammik rishi explains the activities of Maharaj Parikshit and that he should not have been cursed by his son.
* In this chapter, Suta Goswami explains that the King, Maharaj Parikshit, was also feeling extremely bad about his action with the sadhu.
* Within us, it is so common that "I am faultless". It is very difficult to accept that I am at fault. It is only possible in the personality of great personalities.
* So here, Shammik rishi knew very well that Maharaj Parikshit is a great devotee. Therefore he says that such devotees will never find fault in another person's bad action against them. And he is just praying to the Supreme Personality of Godhead for his son's action.
* And exactly here, we see the repentance quality of Maharaj Parikshit. That is the quality of a devotee.
* Another quality the pure devotees have is: tithiksu savra dehinam (Forgiving all others).
* By acting in such a wonderful way...how a person remembers the SPG, how a person responds well to the any such situations is the quality of a devotee.
* Any unwillingly committed aparadha, we should repent it sincerely. Then the offenses is burned in the fire of repentance.
