[Cc. adi 17.31] tṛṇād api sunīcena taror api sahiṣṇunā amāninā mānadena kīrtanīyaḥ sadā hariḥ Literal translation of the verse: "With a mind more humble than a brizna of grass, more tolerant than a tree, without desire for honor, giving respect to all, one must always sing the holy name of the Lord."
