Śrī Caitanya-caritāmṛta
[Antya-lilā, Ch. 9]
TRANSLATION
Indeed, when all the devotees had requested the Lord to bestow His mercy upon Gopīnātha Paṭṭanāyaka, the Lord had replied that He could do nothing.
PURPORT
When a person is sinful, he loses both the chance for spiritual advancement and the chance for material opulence. If one enjoys the material world for sense gratification, he is certainly doomed. Advancement in material opulence is not the direct mercy of the Supreme Personality of Godhead; nevertheless, it indicates the indirect mercy of the Lord, for even a person too attached to material prosperity can gradually be detached and raised to the spiritual platform. Then he can offer causeless, purified service to the Lord. When Śrī Caitanya said,  āmā haite kichu nahe  ("It is not My business to do anything"), He set the ideal example for a person in the renounced order. If a  sannyāsī  takes the side of a  viṣayī , a person engaged in material activities, his character will be criticized. A person in the renounced order should not take interest in material activities, but if he does so out of affection for a particular person, that should be considered his special mercy.

I have simply described the chastisement of Gopīnātha Paṭṭanāyaka and Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu's indifference. But the deep meaning of this behavior is very difficult to understand.

কাশীমিশ্রে না সাধিল, রাজারে না সাধিল । উদ্বোগ বিনা মহাপ্রভু এত ফল দিল ॥ ১৫০ ॥
