The Supreme Personality of Godhead said: O Uddhava, a saintly person is merciful and never injures others. Even if others are aggressive he is tolerant and forgiving toward all living entities. His strength and meaning in life come from the truth itself, he is free from all envy and jealousy, and his mind is equal in material happiness and distress. Thus, he dedicates his time to work for the welfare of all others. SB 11.11.29
Going out to meet the public on sankirtan takes strength and conviction. When we feel we have something of value, we naturally want to share it with others. With personal experience of the truth, we become spiritually strong and receive deep conviction about the meaning of human life. Faithful performance of our sadhana moves us from a beginner’s theoretical appreciation into the realm of practical awareness of the transcendental reality.
Thus we nourish and maintain our conviction that nama sankirtan is the remedy for the sufferings of all conditioned souls through our personal experience of this truth acquired during sadhana.
