yathāgadaḿ vīryatamamupayuktaḿ yadṛcchayāajānato 'py ātma-guṇaḿkuryān mantro 'py udāhṛtaḥIf a person unaware of the effective potency of a certain medicine takes that medicine or is forced to take it, it will act even without his knowledge because its potency does not depend on the patient's understanding. Similarly, even though one does not know the value of chanting the holy name of the Lord, if one chants knowingly or unknowingly, the chanting will be very effective. (S.B.6:2:19).etāvān eva loke 'sminpuḿsāḿ dharmaḥ paraḥ smṛtaḥbhakti-yogo bhagavatitan-nāma-grahaṇādibhiḥDevotional service, beginning with the chanting of the holy name of the Lord, is the ultimate religious principle for the living entity in human society.(S.B.6:3:22).vāsudeve bhagavatibhaktim udvahatāḿ nṛṇāmjñāna-vairāgya-vīryāṇāḿna hi kaścid vyapāśrayaḥPersons engaged in devotional service to Lord Vāsudeva, Kṛṣṇa, have naturally perfect knowledge and detachment from this material world. Therefore such devotees are not interested in the so-called happiness or so-called distress of this world. (S.B.6:17:31).hariḥ sarveṣu bhūteṣubhagavān āsta īśvaraḥiti bhūtāni manasākāmais taiḥ sādhu mānayetOne should always remember the Supreme Personality of Godhead in His localized representation as the Paramātmā, who is situated in the core of every living entity's heart. Thus one should offer respect to every living entity according to that living entity's position or manifestation.
