However or by whatever means; to whichever or whatever embodiment (being), the learned propagate happiness. This alone is the worship of the Lord!
Commentary:
Being happy is one way of being wise! However, their wisdom takes them a step ahead. They strive to share the happiness with whomsoever they come across - no matter the time, space or species even. They are equanimous towards all beings, human or animal alike. They are cheerful in their element and their presence uplifts those around. They strive to bring joy to others in any way or form.
The poet says there is no better bliss or benediction one can offer to the Lord! Showing gratitude for the grace He has showered upon us is as easy as giving happiness to another being. In fact, the essences of all the scriptures is, 'giving happiness and causing no harm'. That is the road to paradise!
The best feeling of happiness is when you are happy that you have made someone else happy. Together, let's make a happy world.
