Srimad Bhagavatam 10.80.4 meaning
shiras tu tasy-obhayalingam anamet tad eva yat pashyati tad dhi chakshuh
angani vishnor atha tajjananam padodakam yani bhajanti nityam
शिरस्तु तस्योभयलिङ्गमानमेत्तदेव यत्पश्यति तद्धि चक्षुः।
अङ्गानि विष्णोरथ तज्जनानां पादोदकं यानि भजन्ति नित्यम्॥
A true head is one that bows to him in his moving and unmoving forms. True eyes are those that see him. True limbs are those that honour the water that washed the feet of Vishnu and his devotees.
What it means
Bowing, seeing the sacred everywhere, honouring good people: these small acts train the body itself in humility and reverence. Reverence, like any skill, grows with daily practice.हिंदी में अर्थ
सच्चा सिर वह है जो उनके चल और अचल दोनों रूपों को प्रणाम करे। सच्ची आँखें वे हैं जो उन्हें देखें। सच्चे अंग वे हैं जो विष्णु और उनके भक्तों के चरणों के जल का सम्मान करें।
झुकना, हर जगह पवित्र को देखना, सज्जनों का सम्मान करना: ये छोटे काम शरीर को ही विनम्रता और श्रद्धा सिखाते हैं।
Spoken by Parikshit.
