Srimad-Bhagavatam: Canto 11 - Chapter 1 - Verse 61

Sanskrit:

सुदु:सहमिमं मन्ये आत्मन्यसदतिक्रमम् ।विदुषामपि विश्वात्मन् प्रकृतिर्हि बलीयसी ।ऋते त्वद्धर्मनिरतान् शान्तांस्ते चरणालयान् ॥ ६१ ॥

ITRANS:

su-duḥsaham imaṁ manyaātmany asad-atikramamviduṣām api viśvātmanprakṛtir hi balīyasīṛte tvad-dharma-niratānśāntāṁs te caraṇālayān

Translation:

O soul of the universe, the conditioning of one’s personality in material life is very strong, and therefore it is very difficult even for learned men to tolerate the offenses committed against them by ignorant people. Only Your devotees, who are fixed in Your loving service and who have achieved peace by residing at Your lotus feet, are able to tolerate such offenses.

Purport:

Unless one becomes advanced in the process of hearing and chanting the glories of the Supreme Lord, theoretical learning cannot make one actually saintly. One’s conditioned personality, the result of long material association, is very difficult to overcome. Therefore we should humbly take shelter of the lotus feet of the Supreme Lord, who has so wonderfully explained to Śrī Uddhava the real meaning of knowledge.
