The performers of austerities, having received mercy from the devotees and ātmārāmas, hold in the sky of their hearts the moon of bhāva called śānta.

The devotees and self-realized persons who are engaged in preaching the glories of the Lord always maintain an ecstatic love for the Lord within their hearts. Thus they are benefited by the rays of the ecstatic moon, and they are called saintly persons.

— A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupāda
