PURPORT
It is the desire of Lord Caitanya Mahaprabhu that the benevolent activities of the sankirtana movement, which was inaugurated five hundred years ago in Navadvipa, be spread all over the world for the benefit of all human beings.
Unfortunately, there are many so-called followers of Caitanya Mahaprabhu who are satisfied simply to construct a temple, make a show of the Deities, collect some funds and utilize them for eating and sleeping.
There is no question of their preaching the cult of Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu all over the world.
But even though they are unable to do so, if anyone else does it they become envious.
This is the condition of the modern followers of Caitanya Mahaprabhu.
The Age of Kali is so strong that it affects even the so-called followers of Lord Caitanya.
At least the followers of Caitanya Mahaprabhu must come out of India to preach His cult all over the world, for this is the mission of Lord Caitanya.
The followers of Lord Caitanya must execute His will with heart and soul, being more tolerant than the trees and humbler than the straw in the street.
