Śrī Caitanya-caritāmṛta
[Antya-lilā, Ch. 6]
kurvatārṅ parama-prītyā kṛtyam anyan na rocate
A well-to-do householder Vaiṣṇava cannot live like a person in the renounced order who completely takes shelter of the holy name. Such a householder should chant the holy name of Kṛṣṇa in the morning, at midday and in the evening. Then he will be able to cross beyond nescience. Pure devotees in the renounced order, however, who fully surrender to the lotus feet of Kṛṣṇa, should chant the holy name of the Lord with great love and faith, always thinking of Kṛṣṇa's lotus feet. They should have no other occupation than chanting the holy name of the Lord. In the  Bhakti-sandarbha , Śrīla Jīva Gosvāmī says:
yadyapi śrī-bhāgavata-mate pañca-rātrādivad-arcana-mārgasyāvaśyakatvaṁ nāsti, tad vināpi śaraṇāpattyādīnām ekatareṇāpi puruṣārtha-siddher abhihitatvāt.
TEXT 224
বৈরাগী হঞা যেবা করে পরাপেক্ষা ।
কার্যসিদ্ধি নহে, কৃষ্ণ করেন উপেক্ষা ॥ ২২৪ ॥
vairāgī hañā yebā kare parāpekṣā kārya-siddhi nahe, kṛṣṇa karena upekṣā
SYNONYMS
vairāgī hañā—being in the renounced order; yebā—anyone who; kare—does; parāpekṣā—dependence on others; kārya-siddhi nahe—he does not become successful; kṛṣṇa—Lord Kṛṣṇa; karena upekṣā—neglects.
TRANSLATION

TEXT 225
বৈরাগী হঞা করে জিহ্বার লালস ।
পরমার্থ যায়, আর হয় রসের বশ ॥ ২২৫ ॥
vairāgī hañā kare jihvāra lālasa paramārtha yāya, āra haya rasera vaśa
