By Giriraj Swami
"Titiksavah--the sadhu does not become disturbed. At the same time, karunikah. He is himself being disturbed, but he is merciful to others. "Just like Jesus Christ. He was being crucified, and still he was merciful: 'God, these people do not know what they are doing. Please excuse them.' This is sadhu. Personally, he is being disturbed by the demons, but still, he is merciful to the general people. They are suffering for want of Krsna consciousness. Even up to the point of death, he is trying to preach Krsna consciousness. 'Let the people be benefited. What is this material body? Even if I am killed, I am not killed; this body is killed, that's all.' This is sadhu. Titiksavah karunikah. On the one side he is tolerant, and on the other side, merciful.
