234 Srnnad-Bhagavabun [Canto 7, Ch. 5"To those who are constantly devoted and worship Me with love, I givethe understanding by which they can come to Me." Everyone is actually aservant, not an enemy or friend, and everyone is working under differentdirections from the Lord, who directs each living entity accordingto his mentality.TEXT 13 31R'It ((tq{€CIN- .. tt!stilfllit IIV {;( (IR:;{tit flU!() f¥r.ff lt I IIsa ea titmd sva-parety abuddhibhirduratyayanukramar:w nirapyatemuhyanti yad-vartmani veda-viidirwbrahmiidayo hy ea bhinatti me matimsalt-He; eaft-this; iitmii-Supersoul situated in everyone's heart;sva-para-this is my own business, and that is someone else's; iti-thus;abuddhibhift-by those who have such bad intelligence; duratyayaverydifficult to follow; anukramaft-whose devotional service;nirapyate-is ascertained (by scriptures or the instructions of thespiritual master); muhyanti-are bewildered; yat-of whom;vartmani-on the path; veda-viidinaft-the followers of Vedic instructions;brahma-adayaft-the demigods, beginning from Lord Brahma;hi-indeed; eaft-this one; bhinatti-changes; me-my; matim-intelligence.TRANSLATIONPersons who always think in terms of "enemy" and "friend"are unable to ascertain the Supersoul within themselves. Not tospeak of them, even such exalted persons as Lord Brahma, who arefully conversant with the Vedic literature, are sometimesbewildered in following the principles of devotional service. Thesame Supreme Personality of Godhead who has created this situationhas certainly given me the intelligence to take the side of yourso-called enemy.
