Nārada Muni Cursed by Prajāpati Dakṣa
311
“For one who explains the supreme secret to the devotees, devotional service is guaranteed, and at the end he will come back to Me. There is no servant in this world more dear to Me than he, nor will there ever be one more dear.” Let us continue preaching the message of Lord Kṛṣṇa and not be afraid of enemies. Our only duty is to satisfy the Lord by this preaching, which will be accepted as service by Lord Caitanya and Lord Kṛṣṇa. We must sincerely serve the Lord and not be deterred by so-called enemies.
In this verse the word  sauhṛda-ghnam  (“a breaker of friendship”) is used. Because Nārada Muni and the members of his discipline succession disrupt friendships and family life, they are sometimes accused of being  sauhṛda-ghnam , creators of enmity between relatives. Actually such devotees are friends of every living entity ( suhṛdaṁ sarva-bhūtānām ), but they are misunderstood to be enemies. Preaching can be a difficult, thankless task, but a preacher must follow the orders of the Supreme Lord and be unafraid of materialistic persons.

TRANSLATION
Prajāpati Dakṣa continued:  If you think that simply awakening the sense of renunciation will detach one from the material world, I must say that unless full knowledge is awakened, simply
