Because a person who performs krsna-bhakti but does not understand Sri Krsna Caitanya and Prabhu Nityananda will simply waste his time, the author, Krsnadasa Kaviraja Gosvami; requests that everyone take to the worship of Sri Caitanya and Nityananda Prabhu and the Panca-tattva.

He assures everyone that any person who does so will be successful in Krsna consciousness.
