Nectar Drops from Srila Prabhupada
"tṛṇād api sunīcena
taror api sahiṣṇunā
(CC Adi 17.31)

Who is fit for chanting Hare Kṛṣṇa? He is giving the definition. What is that? Tṛṇād api sunīcena: humbler than the grass. You know the grass, everyone is trampling over the grass, but it does not protest—"All right." So tṛṇād api sunīcena: one has to be humbler than the grass. And taror api sahiṣṇunā. Taror api sahiṣṇunā… Taror means "trees." Trees are very tolerant, example of tolerance, standing thousands of years, same place, does not protest."
