Bhaktivedanta VedaBase: Sri Caitanya Caritamrita Antya 3.52

haridasa kahe, -- "prabhu, cinta na kariha

yavanera samsara dekhi' duhkha na bhaviha

SYNONYMS

haridasa kahe -- Haridasa replied; prabhu -- my dear Lord; cinta na kariha -- do not be in anxiety; yavanera samsara -- the material condition of the yavanas; dekhi' -- seeing; duhkha na bhaviha -- do not be sorry.

TRANSLATION

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.
