144. Srimad-Bhagavatam [Canto 9, Ch. 4
“Out of compassion for them, I, dwelling in their hearts, destroy with
the shining lamp of knowledge the darkness born of ignorance.” The
devotee does not do anything not sanctioned by the Supreme Personality
of Godhead. As it is said, vaisnavera kriya mudraé vijneha na bujhaya.
Even the most learned or experienced person cannot understand the
movements of a Vaisnava, a pure devotee. No one, therefore, should
criticize a pure Vaisnava. A Vaisnava knows his own business; whatever
he does is precisely right because he is always guided by the Supreme
Personality of Godhead.
