SB 11.22.61

su-duhsaham imam manya
 atmany asad-atikramam
vidusam api visvatman
 prakrtir hi baliyasi
rte tvad-dharma-niratan
 santams te caranalayan
 
Translation: 
 
O soul of the universe, the conditioning of one’s personality in material life is very strong, and therefore it is very difficult even for learned men to tolerate the offenses committed against them by ignorant people. Only Your devotees, who are fixed in Your loving service and who have achieved peace by residing at Your lotus feet, are able to tolerate such offenses.
 
Purport: 
 
Unless one becomes advanced in the process of hearing and chanting the glories of the Supreme Lord, theoretical learning cannot make one actually saintly. One’s conditioned personality, the result of long material association, is very difficult to overcome. Therefore we should humbly take shelter of the lotus feet of the Supreme Lord, who has so wonderfully explained to Sri Uddhava the real meaning of knowledge.
 
Thus end the purports of the humble servants of His Divine Grace A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada to the Eleventh Canto, Twenty-second Chapter, of the Srimad-Bhagavatam, entitled “Enumeration of the Elements of Material Creation.”
