Vaiṣṇava Nā Dekhiyā Bale Vaiṣṇava Niṣkriya
vaiṣṇava nā dekhiyā bale vaiṣṇava niṣkriya
vaiṣṇava ‘prabhura’ sevāya sadāi sakriya
vaiṣṇava nā dekhiyā-not considering carefully who is vaiṣṇava; bale-they say; vaiṣṇava niṣkriya-the vaiṣṇava should be inactive; vaiṣṇava-the actual vaiṣṇava; prabhura-of the Lord; sevāya-in the service; sadāi-always; sakriya-active.
Those who have never seen a real Vaisnava devotee of the Supreme Lord say that Vaisnava are inactive, or should not perform any ordinary activities. This is a completely wrong idea because the Vaisnava pure devotees of the Lord are always engaged in various kinds of activities in devotional service for the satisfaction of the Supreme Personality of Godhead.
prāṇahīna kaniṣṭha sei sevā nāhi kare
pratiṣṭhāra tare thāke nirjanera ghare
prāṇahīna-devoid of life; kaniṣṭha-neophyte devotee; sei-that person; sevā-service; nāhi kare-does not perform; pratiṣṭhāra tare-on account of desire for fame; thāke-remains; nirjanera-solitary; ghare-place.
Actually it is the lifeless, neophyte kaniṣṭha devotee of the Lord who does not perform activities in devotional service to the Supreme Lord. And instead these neophyte devotees, being influenced by material desires for recognition as a great saintly person in the eyes of the common man, go to some secluded place and engage in chanting the holy names of the Lord in an unauthorized fashion.
vaiṣṇava-praṇamya śrila nītyānanda rāya
māra khāya prema deya yathāya tathāya
vaiṣṇava-praṇamya-who should be bowed down to by all the devotees; śrila nītyānanda rāya-Śrī Nityānanda Prabhu; māra khāya-is beaten; prema-love of God; deya-gives out; yathāya tathāya-everywhere.
Take the example of Lord Śrī Nītyānanda Prabhu, who is worshipable by all the pure Vaisnava devotees of the Lord. Even though He was beaten by the very people He was preaching to, still he always remained active, distributing pure love for Kṛṣṇa (prema) anywhere and everywhere for the upliftment of the fallen souls in this material world.
cakrapāṇi gourahari sethā karila śāsana
vaiṣṇava-vidveṣī tabe haila damana
cakrapāṇi-with cakra in His hand; gourahari-Lord Caitanya; sethā-there; karila-śāsana-punished; vaiṣṇava-vidveṣī-those who hate the devotees; tabe-then; haila damana-were subdued.
Lord Śrī Kṛṣṇa Caitanya Mahāprabhu came to the rescue of Lord Nītyānanda, bearing his Sudarsana cakra weapon in His hand to those envious of His devotees, thus bringing them under His control. In this way, those inimical to the Vaisnava devotees of the Lord are always defeated by the mercy of Lord Caitanya.
