232 Sri Caitanya-caritamrta [Antya-lila, Ch. 3

Unfortunately, even some so-called Vaisnavas enviously refuse to cooperate
with this movement but instead condemn it inso many ways. We are very sorry
to say that these people try to find fault with us, being unnecessarily envious of
our activities, although we are trying to the best of our ability to introduce the
Krsna consciousness movement directly into the countries of the yavanas and
mlecchas. Such yavanas and mlecchas are coming to us and becoming purified
Vaisnavas who follow in the footsteps of $ri Caitanya Mahaprabhu. One who
identifies himself as a follower of Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu should feel like Sri
Caitanya Mahaprabhu, who said, iha-sabara kon mate ha-ibe nistara: “How will all
these yavanas be delivered?” Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu was always anxious to
deliver the fallen souls because their fallen condition gave Him great unhappiness.
That is the platform on which one can propagate the mission of Sri Caitanya
Mahaprabhu.

haridaésa kahe, — “prabhu, cinta na kariha
yavanera samsdra dekhi’ duhkha na bhaviha

SYNONYMS

haridasa kahe —Haridasa replied; prabhu—my dear Lord; cinta na kariha—do
not be in anxiety; yavanera sariséra—the material condition of the yavanas;
dekhi’—seeing; dubkha na bhaviha—do not be sorry.

TRANSLATION

Haridasa Thakura replied, “‘My dear Lord, do not be in anxiety. Do not be
unhappy to see the condition of the yavanas in material existence.

PURPORT

These words of Haridasa Thakura are just befitting a devotee who has dedi-
cated his life and soul to the service of the Lord. When the Lord is unhappy be-
cause of the condition of the fallen souls, the devotee consoles Him, saying, “My
dear Lord, do not be in anxiety.” This is service. Everyone should adopt the cause
of $ri Caitanya Mahaprabhu to try to relieve Him from the anxiety He feels. This is
actually service to the Lord. One who tries to relieve Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu’s
anxiety for the fallen souls is certainly a most dear and confidential devotee of the
Lord. To blaspheme such a devotee who is trying his best to spread the cult of Sri
Caitanya Mahaprabhu is the greatest offense. One who does so is simply awaiting
punishment for his envy.
