Terence, this is stupid stuff: You eat your victuals fast enough; There can't be much amiss, 'tis clear, To see the rate you drink your beer.

Unless one approaches a pure devotee, he cannot understand the Supreme Personality of Godhead.
The soul of the slave, the soul of the "little man," is as dear to me as the soul of the great.
