\nIf a person is knowingly or unknowingly envious of a Vaisnava who is engaged in the nonduplicitous service of Lord Hari, his degradation is inevitable. Of this there is no doubt. Apart from this, if even persons claiming to be devotees of Visnu are envious of ordinary living entities and give various troubles to them, they are actually far away from devotional service to Visnu and are not fit to be called human beings. Their worship of Visnu becomes the source of misery. Those endowed with an absense of jive-daya, or compassion for other living entities, and yet proudly consider themselves servants of Lord Visnu achieve the threefold miseries rather than the devotional service of the Lord.<\/p>\n
\n“Everyone please give your thoughts to Me. Please hear the truth I will now say. Anyone who neglects My servant and then worships Me is very lowly and degraded. Such a person cuts Me into pieces. His worship is like fire burning My body.
\nText 209
\n“My holy name, which is a kalpa-vrksa tree, destroys anyone who once blasphemes My servant.
\nText 210
\n“The living entities who live in the numberless universes are all My servants. Therefore any living entity who harms another living entity will perish.
\nText 211
\n“You are more dear to Me than My own body. Anyone who offends You will not be able to bear the fate that waits for him.
\nText 212
\n“If a sannyasi blasphemes an innocent person, the sannyasi will fall down. All his piety will perish.”
\nText 213
\nRaising His arms, fair Lord Caitanya declared to the entire world, “Renouncing criticism of others, everyone please chant Lord Krsna’s name.
\nText 214
\n“I will personally deliver anyone who does not criticize others and who once chants `Krsna!’ That is the truth. It is the truth.”
\nText 215
\nWhen Lord Caitanya spoke these words, the devotees responded with “Jaya! Jaya! Jaya!” <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"![\"Hare](\"https:\/\/lh3.googleusercontent.com\/-TEgfrdts3PM\/V-eC1SI8DYI\/AAAAAAAAfGM\/rWFSNbTl6JA\/s0\/2016-09-25_09-55-01.jpg\")
