Lord Shiva Quote from Padma Purana

✨Padma Purāṇa: ārādhanānāṁ sarveṣāṁ viṣṇor ārādhanaṁ param tasmāt parataraṁ devi tadīyānāṁ samarcanam Translation “Of all types of worship, worship of Lord Viṣṇu is best, and better than the worship of Lord Viṣṇu is the worship of His devotee, the Vaiṣṇava.” ✨Śrimad Bhagwatam 8.5.49 यथा हि स्कन्धशाखानां तरोर्मूलावसेचनम् । एवमाराधनं विष्णो: सर्वेषामात्मनश्च हि ॥ ४९ ॥ yathā hi skandha-śākhānāṁ taror mūlāvasecanam evam ārādhanaṁ viṣṇoḥ sarveṣām ātmanaś ca hi Translation When one pours water on the root of a tree, the trunk and branches of the tree are automatically pleased. Similarly, when one becomes a devotee of Lord Viṣṇu, everyone is served, for the Lord is the Supersoul of everyone. ✨Bhāgavatam (4.31.14) yathā taror mūla-niṣecanena tṛpyanti tat-skandha-bhujopaśākhāḥ prāṇopahārāc ca yathendriyāṇāṁ tathaiva sarvārhaṇam acyutejyā Translation “Just by pouring water on the root of a tree, one nourishes its trunk and all of its branches, fruits and flowers, and just by supplying food to the stomach, one satisfies all the limbs of the body. Similarly, by worshiping Lord Viṣṇu one can satisfy everyone.”
