Chapter 6: Brahmā Satisfies Lord Śiva

Verse 46 of 50
SB 4.6.46

न वै सतां त्वच्चरणार्पितात्मनां भूतेषु सर्वेष्वभिपश्यतां तव भूतानि चात्मन्यपृथग्दिदृक्षतां प्रायेण रोषो ऽभिभवेद्यथा पशुम्

Translation

My dear Lord, devotees who have fully dedicated their lives unto your lotus feet certainly observe your presence as Paramātmā in each and every being, and as such they do not differentiate between one living being and another. Such persons treat all living entities equally. They never become overwhelmed by anger like animals, who can see nothing without differentiation.

Purport

When the Supreme Personality of Godhead becomes angry or kills a demon, materially this may appear unfavorable, but spiritually this is a blissful blessing upon him. Therefore pure devotees do not make any distinction between the Lord's anger and His blessings. They see both with reference to the Lord's behavior with others and themselves. A devotee does not find fault with the behavior of the Lord in any circumstances.
