FOES
Can soft mannered srEvaishNavites have
foes? The gOpikAs are innocent. Can they have enemies? Who can that be?
They advance against their enemies with
valour , it is said.
For Devotees the enmies are those who
cannot tolerate the well being of EmeprumAn.Who cannot withstand the Sparkling
of the Lord.
These gOpikAs go on aggrssively against
these ones.
svAmi maNavALa mAmunikaL mentions
piRam miukkam pORamai ilA pEaRu
peTRaom'
It is an attribute of SrEvaishNavites not
to be disquitened on seeing others' welfare or progress.
When this is so, can there be enemies
?
Yes. Those who do not like EmperumAn's
welfare/progress are indeed considered the foes.
Those who do not tolerate Sri KrhsNA's
greatness.
