The devotees who have taken shelter of the lotus feet of Sri Caitanya
Mahdprabhu take the responsibility for distributing nectarean devotional ser-
vice all over the world. They are like clouds pouring water on the ground that
nourishes the fruit of love of Godhead in this world. The devotees eat that
fruit to their hearts’ content, and whatever remnants they leave are eaten by
the general populace. Thus they live happily.
