Šrū Caitanva-caritāmrta
[[Madhya-lilā Ch 24]
ghora-rūpān —demigods with fearful bodily features;  hitvā —giving up;  bhūta-patīn —the forefathers ( prajāpatis );  atha —therefore;  nārāyaṇa-kalāḥ —the plenary expansions of Lord Nārāyaṇa;  śāntāḥ —very peaceful;  bhajanti —they worship;  hi —certainly;  anasūyavah —nonenvious.
TRANSLATION
“‘Those who want to be relieved from the material clutches give up the worship of the various demigods, who have fearful bodily features. Such peaceful devotees, who are not envious of the demigods, worship the different forms of the Supreme Personality of Godhead, Nārāyana.’
PURPORT
This is a quotation from the  Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam  (1.2.26). Those who actually want the highest perfection worship Lord Viṣṇu in His different incarnations. Those who are attracted to the materialistic way of life and who are always agitated and full of anxiety worship demigods who appear fierce, demigods like god-dess Kālī and Kāla-bhairava (Rudra). The devotees of Kṛṣṇa, however, do not envy the demigods or their worshipers but peacefully render devotional service to the incarnations of Nārāyaṇa instead.
TEXT 124
সেই সবের সাধুসঙ্গে গুণ ফুরায়।।
কুষ্ণভজন  করায়, “ মৃৃমৃৃকা ” ছাড়ায় ॥ ১২৪ ॥
sei sabera sādhu-saṅge guṇa sphurāya kṛṣṇa-bhajana karāya, ‘mumukṣā’ chāḍāya
SYNONYMS
sei sabera —of all those worshipers of different demigods;  sādhu-saṅge —the contact of real devotees;  guṇa sphurāya —awakens the appreciation of transcendental qualities;  kṛṣṇa-bhajana karāya —engages in the devotional service of Lord Kṛṣṇa;  mumukṣā chāḍāya —and causes to give up the desire to be liberated or merge into the impersonal feature of the Lord.
TRANSLATION
“If those who are attached to demigod worship fortunately associate with the devotees, their dormant devotional service and appreciation of the Lord’s qualities gradually awaken. In this way they also engage in Kṛṣṇa’s devotional service and give up the desire for liberation and the desire to merge into the existence of impersonal Brahman.
