Tolerance and mercy, by Haripada dasa
Jesus Christ always said that praying to God for friends is easy, but you have to pray to God for our enemies. Jesus Christ was made many offenses and crucified, but he prayed to God for his offenders. He was merciful and tolerant, it is said that a great personality is measured by his degree of tolerance, of course that tolerance and mercy are two qualities that go together, a person is tolerant when he is very merciful, materialists are not even tolerant nor merciful, every day they send millions and millions of innocent animals to the slaughterhouse, and they are not tolerant, I saw how one person whistled at the car in front because the traffic light had turned green and the other got out of the car all annoying and ended up punching you
In relation to the subject, I share these very beautiful verses of Bhagavatam, 4, 12, 36 and 37:
36- The Vaikuṇṭha planets have their own light, and the reflection of their effulgence is the only cause of the light emitted by the luminous planets of the material world. Those who are not merciful to the other living entities cannot reach them. Only people who work without interruption for the welfare of other living entities can reach them.
37- People who are peaceful, balanced, clean, pure and knowledgeable about the art of pleasing all other living entities cultivate only the friendship of the devotees of the Lord; Only they can easily reach the perfection of going back home, back to God.
My conclusion is that the difference between a devotee of God or Krishna and an ordinary person, is that the devotee of God or Krishna is always thinking of doing good to others without wanting anything in return, by doing that he receives all the blessings of Srila Prabhupada and Krishna, and the ordinary person never thinks about doing good to others, she thinks that the goal of life is to be full of envy, selfishness, hypocrisy and fighting with others.
