TRANSLATION

All kinds of activities, both auspicious and inauspicious, that are detrimental to
the discharge of transcendental loving service to Lord Sri Krsna are actions of the
darkness of ignorance.

PURPORT

The poetical comparison of Lord Caitanya and Lord Nityananda to the sun and
moon is very significant. The living entities are spiritual sparks, and their constitu-
tional position is in devotional service to the Supreme Lord in full Krsna conscious-
ness. So-called pious activities and other ritualistic performances, pious or impious,
as well as the desire to escape from material existence, are all considered to be
coverings of these spiritual sparks. The living entities must get free from these super-
fluous coverings and fully engage in Krsna consciousness. The purpose of the appear-
ance of Lord Caitanya and Lord Nityananda is to dispel the darkness of the soul.
Before Their appearance, all these superfluous activities of the living entities were
covering Krsna consciousness, but after the appearance of these two brothers,
people’s hearts are becoming cleansed, and they are again becoming situated in the
real position of Krsna consciousness.
