Śrī Caitanya-caritāmṛta
[Antya-līlā, Ch. 3]
Unfortunately, even some so-called Vaiṣṇavas enviously refuse to cooperate with this movement but instead condemn it in so many ways. We are very sorry to say that these people try to find fault with us, being unnecessarily envious of our activities, although we are trying to the best of our ability to introduce the Kṛṣṇa consciousness movement directly into the countries of the yavanas and  mlecchas . Such yavanas and  mlecchas  are coming to us and becoming purified Vaiṣṇavas who follow in the footsteps of Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu. One who identifies himself as a follower of Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu should feel like Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu, who said,  ihā-sabāra kon mate ha-ibe nistāra : "How will all these yavanas be delivered?" Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu was always anxious to deliver the fallen souls because their fallen condition gave Him great unhappiness. That is the platform on which one can propagate the mission of Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu.
TEXT 52
হরিদাস কহে, - “প্রভু, চিন্তা না করিহ । যবনের সংসার দেখি’ তুঃখ না ভাবিহ ॥ ৫২ ॥
haridāsa kahe, — “prabhu, cintā nā kariha yavanera saṁsāra dekhi’ duḥkha nā bhāviha
SYNONYMS
haridāsa kahe  —Haridāsa replied;  prabhu  —my dear Lord;  cintā nā kariha  —do not be in anxiety;  yavanera saṁsāra  —the material condition of the yavanas;  dekhi’  —seeing;  duḥkha nā bhāviha  —do not be sorry.
TRANSLATION
Haridāsa Ṭhākura replied, “My dear Lord, do not be in anxiety. Do not be unhappy to see the condition of the yavanas in material existence.
PURPORT
These words of Haridāsa Ṭhākura are just befitting a devotee who has dedicated his life and soul to the service of the Lord. When the Lord is unhappy because of the condition of the fallen souls, the devotee consoles Him, saying, “My dear Lord, do not be in anxiety.” This is service. Everyone should adopt the cause of Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu to try to relieve Him from the anxiety He feels. This is actually service to the Lord. One who tries to relieve Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu’s anxiety for the fallen souls is certainly a most dear and confidential devotee of the Lord. To blaspheme such a devotee who is trying his best to spread the cult of Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu is the greatest offense. One who does so is simply awaiting punishment for his envy.
