TEXT 82

hāsāya, nācāya, more karāya krandana

eta śuni' guru hāsi balilā vacana

SYNONYMS

hāsāya—it causes Me to laugh; nācaya—it causes Me to dance; more—unto Me; karāya—it causes; krandana—crying; eta—thus; śuni'-hearing; guru—My spiritual master; hāsi—smiling; balilā—said; vacana—words.

TRANSLATION

" 'Chanting the holy name in ecstasy causes Me to dance, laugh and cry.' When My spiritual master heard all this, he smiled and then began to speak.

PURPORT

When a disciple very perfectly makes progress in spiritual life, this gladdens the spiritual master, who then also smiles in ecstasy, thinking, "How successful my disciple has become!" He feels so glad that he smiles as he enjoys the progress of the disciple, just as a smiling parent enjoys the activities of a child who is trying to stand up or crawl perfectly.
