Although merely by performance of 蝉补峁卥墨谤迟补苍补 of the names of 艢谤墨 叠丑补驳补惫腻苍, the sufferings and faults of all devotees are destroyed, still, some devotees who are merciful just like the Supreme Lord accept distress or exhibit flaws just to instruct ordinary people about proper conduct.
Commentary: Dig-dar艣in墨-峁玨膩 with Bh膩v膩nuv膩da
(By 艢谤墨la San膩tana Gosv膩m墨 himself including a deep purport of that commentary)
艢谤墨 Gopa-办耻尘腻谤补 might object, 鈥淚s it not their duty to manifest that great treasure of n膩ma-蝉补峁卥墨谤迟补苍补 for the deliverance of the whole world?鈥�
The 痴补颈办耻峁囜弓丑补 associates reply in this verse beginning with 迟补苍苍腻尘补. They say, 鈥淎ll the faults and distresses of the devotees of Hari are indeed destroyed by the chanting of the name of the Lord (n膩ma蝉补峁卥墨谤迟补苍补). However, being merciful like 叠丑补驳补惫腻苍, some devotees give instruction on virtuous conduct (蝉补诲腻肠腻谤补), for instance, in the form of rejecting bad association. If one does not adopt proper behavior, one鈥檚 heart will be tainted by sin, and the inclination for devotional service will not arise naturally.鈥�
