302 Sri Caitanya-caritamrta [Antya-lila, Ch. 6
PURPORT
Anyone, whether an ordinary materialistic person or a pure devotee, can under-
stand the behavior of Sri Caitanya Mahdaprabhu’s devotees if he studies it
minutely. One will thus find that the devotees of Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu are
not at all attached to any kind of material enjoyment. They have completely given
up sense enjoyment to engage fully in the service of Lord Sri Krsna and dedicate
their lives and souls to serving Krsna without material desires. Because their devo-
tional service is free from material desires, it is unimpeded by material circum-
stances. Although ordinary men have great difficulty understanding this attitude
of the devotees, it is greatly appreciated by the Supreme Personality of Godhead,
Lord Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu.
