8. Trinadapi Sunicena
Trinadapi Sunicena-thinking oneself lower than a blade of grass
He thought himself lower than any other vaishnavas and always respected others.

9. Tarorapi Sahishnuna Tarorapi Sahishnuna-tolerant like a tree
Just like a tree we have to be tolerant to chant

13. Do we have these qualities?
Being humble
Tolerant(not getting angry for small reasons)
Giving respect to others and not expecting any respect in return
Always chanting the names of the Lord Hari with devotion
Being proud and always wanting fame
Getting angry and fighting for small things
Always expecting respect & recognition
Sometimes chanting and gossiping

14. Our Goal
The qualities required for chanting will come by surrendering to Sad Guru and Vaishnavas
Without Guru, Vaishnavas, Pancha-tattva and Shri Caitanya Mahaprabhu we cannot attain the lotus feet of Shri Radha Krishna
