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

dedicated his life and soul to the service of the Lord. When the Lord is

unhappy because 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 Sri 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.
