O lord, we know that when you simply move your eyebrows, all the commanders of the various planets are most afraid. Without the help of any assistant, you have conquered all the three worlds. Therefore, we do not find any reason for you to be morose and full of anxiety. As for Prahlāda, he is nothing but a child and cannot be a cause of anxiety. After all, his bad or good qualities have no value.

Gauḍīya Ācāryas

Viśvanātha Cakravartī Ṭhākura Gauḍīya

Translation

You have conquered the three worlds by yourself. The devatās are afraid of the mere movement of your brow. O master! We do not see that it is worth while to think about unobtainable desires. We do not take seriously the good and bad behavior of children. We do not see it suitable for you to think about desires you cannot attain. “But my son’s nature is to oppose me.” We do not see the behavior of children in terms of good and bad. We will understand the good or bad nature of his intelligence after his childhood. Vai means “and.” The one verb cakṣvahe is used for both objects.

Personal Guidance

Ṣaṇḍa and Amarka flatter him: a movement of your eyebrow terrifies the rulers of every planet — why worry about a small child? Sycophants always minimize the very thing you should be paying attention to. Flattery is the enemy of right discernment.

Reflection Questions

Whose flattery is currently helping you ignore the small voice you should be heeding?
Where is what looks 'small' actually the most important data point?
