Dialogue between Kapila and Devahooti This religion of love has been expounded in the third skandha of Srimad Bhagavatham in the dialogue between Kapila and his mother Devahoothi. In this dialogue, Kapila mentions the dharmas that should be actually followed by a good person. He who has been described as an Avatar of Lord Vishnu on devotion to God lays special emphasis. According to him, devotion to God should not merely be confined to the worshipping the image in the temples, but should be extended to the worshipping of the Lord who is present in every human being, nay, in every being in the world. One who worships the Lord's image at the temple abandoning Him who resides in all beings as Ishwara is like one who performs oblations in ashes." The Lord will cause intense fear in the form of death to those who make difference between oneself and others." Hence, Kapila concludes by saying that every one should worship the Lord who has taken His abode in every human being by giving charity, and showing respect and love to one's fellow men.
