<div class="heading">The superior devotee is concerned not only for his own understanding but for the understanding of all mankind. So Arjuna, out of his mercy, because he is a Vaiṣṇava, a devotee, is opening for the common man the understanding of the all-pervasiveness of the Supreme Lord. He addresses Kṛṣṇa specifically as yogin because Śrī Kṛṣṇa is the master of the yoga-māyā energy, by which He is covered and uncovered to the common man.

In what various forms are You to be remembered, O Supreme Personality of Godhead?</p>
</div>
<div class="purport text"><p>As it is stated in the previous chapter, the Supreme Personality of Godhead is covered by His yoga-māyā. Only surrendered souls and devotees can see Him. Now Arjuna is convinced that His friend, Kṛṣṇa, is the Supreme Godhead, but he wants to know the general process by which the all-pervading Lord can be understood by the common man. Common men, including the demons and atheists, cannot know Kṛṣṇa, because He is guarded by His yoga-māyā energy. Again, these questions are asked by Arjuna for their benefit. The superior devotee is concerned not only for his own understanding but for the understanding of all mankind. So Arjuna, out of his mercy, because he is a Vaiṣṇava, a devotee, is opening for the common man the understanding of the all-pervasiveness of the Supreme Lord. He addresses Kṛṣṇa specifically as yogin because Śrī Kṛṣṇa is the master of the yoga-māyā energy, by which He is covered and uncovered to the common man. The common man who has no love for Kṛṣṇa cannot always think of Kṛṣṇa; therefore he has to think materially. Arjuna is considering the mode of thinking of the materialistic persons of this world. The words keṣu keṣu ca bhāveṣu refer to material nature (the word bhāva means "physical things"). Because materialists cannot understand Kṛṣṇa spiritually, they are advised to concentrate the mind on physical things and try to see how Kṛṣṇa is manifested by physical representations.</p>

O Partha, happy are the ksatriyas to whom such fighting opportunities come unsought, opening for them the doors of the heavenly planets

<div class="purport text"><p>As supreme teacher of the world, Lord Kṛṣṇa condemns the attitude of Arjuna, who said, "I do not find any good in this fighting. It will cause perpetual habitation in hell." Such statements by Arjuna were due to ignorance only. He wanted to become nonviolent in the discharge of his specific duty. For a kṣatriya to be on the battlefield and to become nonviolent is the philosophy of fools. In the Parāśara-smṛti, or religious codes made by Parāśara, the great sage and father of Vyāsadeva, it is stated:</p>
:kṣatriyo hi prajā rakṣan
:śastra-pāṇiḥ pradaṇḍayan
:nirjitya para-sainyādi
:kṣitiṁ dharmeṇa pālayet
<p>"The kṣatriya's duty is to protect the citizens from all kinds of difficulties, and for that reason he has to apply violence in suitable cases for law and order. Therefore he has to conquer the soldiers of inimical kings, and thus, with religious principles, he should rule over the world."</p>
<p>Considering all aspects, Arjuna had no reason to refrain from fighting. If he should conquer his enemies, he would enjoy the kingdom; and if he should die in the battle, he would be elevated to the heavenly planets, whose doors were wide open to him. Fighting would be for his benefit in either case.</p>

Sadhu-sanga: Created page with '*This is my vani-notepad and I can place anything here relating to my vaniseva for Vanipedia. =Resources for new compilers= ==Notes for new compilers== This is just a reminder …'

*This is my vani-notepad and I can place anything here relating to my vaniseva for Vanipedia.

=Resources for new compilers=

==Notes for new compilers==
This is just a reminder list of basic guidelines for compiling.

====Preparing VedaBase====
*[[Manual:Troubleshooting#Preparation|Click here]] for the list of sources to select in Vedabase.

====What we ''do not'' compile====

*Synonyms
*Quotes from an appendix or index
*Text segments written by the publishers, not by Srila Prabhupada (e.g. forewords)
*Purports from SB Canto 10.14 through Canto 12
*Verse summaries at the beginning of LOB, ISO, MM, NBS
*Quotes in which the expression appears only in a reading being done by a devotee and is not further commented upon by Prabhupada
*Quotes in which the expression is used by someone other than Prabhupada and Prabhupada does not offer further commentary in connection with the expression

If you come across a page for a Sanskrit term, check with your Vanitutor before compiling.

====Guidelines for compiling====

Before you start, be sure you are:
*using Mozilla Firefox version 3.6.17 for your web browser;
*situated in Vaniquotes (not Vanipedia, Vanisource, or another one of the Vani sites).

=====Formatting standards=====
*'''Conversations''' should always show the speakers' names, even if Prabhupada is the only speaker.
*'''Lectures''' show speakers' names only if there is a speaker other than Prabhupada present within the quote. If Prabhupada is the only speaker in the quote, do not include his name as speaker.
*Don't take it for granted that SP is speaking. Always check and confirm.
**Exception: '''Philosophy Discussions''' - These should be handled just like Conversations (always include the speaker)

=====Headings=====
*should include the expression (there may be some exceptions, but this is the general rule)
**one exception is when a third party cites the expression. At this time we make the heading the comment that SP makes on the expression
*should be complete sentences, ending with a full stop/period
*Pages should be consistent. Either all quotes have headings in a page, or no quotes have headings in a page
*are not necessary for short 'translation-only' quotes

=====Cited Verses=====

*When the auto box appears for cited verses, click yes if it is indeed a cited verse. Sometimes the verses are not completely identified. At that time we go to the manual edit by double clicking on the text of the quote and manually code them with : in front of each line

====Short Keys====

*F2 = Advanced Query (top binoculars)
*F3 = Previous Hit
*F4 = Next Hit
*Ctrl/D = copy with reference
*Alt/Tab = move from Vedabase to Vani or from Vani to Vedabase
*S = set section
*R = purport
*T = Translation
*E = Insert
*Ctrl/V = paste into compile form

to compile a purport

select text, Ctrl/D, Alt/Tab, Ctrl/V, SRE

to compile a translation

select text, Ctrl/D, Alt/Tab, Ctrl/V, STE

to compile a book with no purports/Trans, (TLC, NOD, EJ, KB, RTW, MOG) or lectures, conversations and letters

select text, Ctrl/D, Alt/Tab, Ctrl/V, E

====Editing====
*Quote text copied from VedaBase must remain exactly 'as is'. Do not correct spelling or grammar, and do not 'skip' through the text to select your quote (quotes must be taken from contiguous text).
**It is not necessary, however, to include the entirety of a single speaker's passage (in other words, you don't have to start your quote at the very beginning of a speaker's contribution to the conversation).
*Headings may include minor editing for clarity.

=====Self edit=====

*self edits should be done after compiling each page, preferably before saving. As time goes on, it becomes natural to do partial self edits as each quote is being compiled, so that the final self edit is very clean.

*'''check if''' - All speakers are identified in all of the conversations, and all of the philosophy discussions and only in the lectures when there is one or more people other than Prabhupada speaking

*'''check if''' - there is consistency for headings

*'''check if''' - any purports have been compiled in the `SB 10.14 - 12 section and delete when found

*'''check if''' - there are double quotes compiled and deleted when found

*'''check if''' - check if the correct sections are compiled

*'''check if''' - check if quotes or headings beginning words are not cut example: "Devotional" should not be "evotional"

*'''check if''' - cited verses are properly arranged. If when editing they get buggy, then if they are not autocorrected with the "save"" then we should click edit, compile, save

*'''check if'''

=====Bugs=====

There are a few bugs that are there and we have to simply move around them

======NOD======

In the Nectar of Devotion some chapters are wrongly referenced in VedaBase so the compiler has to keep their eye on the chapter they are compiling and if there is an incorrect link created in the Vani compile form then it has to be manually corrected by clicking on the little blue box (click to change the link for this quote) in the top of the right hand side of the compile tool that is present once you have gone to "edit quote" or "double click" on the text. The coding for NOD is simple. NOD 46 or NOD 47 etc
