mad-bhavo nopajayate
SYNONYMS
yavat -- as long as; sarveshu -- in all; bhuteshu -- living entities; mat-bhavah -- the vision of My presence; na upajayate -- does not fully develop; tavat -- for that long; evam -- in this way; upasita -- one must worship; vak -- of his speech; manah -- mind; kaya -- and body; vrittibhih -- by the functions.
TRANSLATION
Until one has fully developed the ability to see Me within all living beings, one must continue to worship Me by this process with the activities of his speech, mind and body.
PURPORT
Until one fully realizes the Supreme Lord within all beings, he should continue the process of offering obeisances to all creatures. Although one may not be able to actually fall on the ground before all creatures, at least within his mind or by his words one should offer respect to all living beings. This will accelerate the devotee's self-realization.
