cross beyond it.” (Bg. 7.14) A Vaisnava should take care of those who
are bewildered by this maya instead of becoming angry with them because

who are under the influence of the illusory energy are attracted to
fruitive activities, but a Vaisnava preacher attracts their hearts to the
Supreme Personality of Godhead, Sri Krsna.
