PURPORT

A Vaisnava is never bewildered by the influence of the external energy because he is engaged in the transcendental loving service of the Lord. The Lord states in Bhagavad-gita:

daivi hy esa gunamayi mama maya duratyaya
mam eva ye prapadyante mayam etam taranti te

"My divine energy consisting of the three modes of material nature is difficult to overcome. But those who have surrendered unto Me can easily cross beyond it." (Bg. 7.14) A Vaisnava should take care of those who are bewildered by this maya instead of becoming angry with them because without a Vaisnava's mercy they have no way to get out of the clutches of maya. Those who have been condemned by maya are rescued by the mercy of devotees.

vancha-kalpa-tarubhyas ca krpa-sindhubhya eva ca
patitanam pavanebhyo vaisnavebhyo namo namah

"I offer my respectful obeisances unto all the Vaisnava devotees of the Lord. They are just like desire trees who can fulfill the desires of everyone, and they are full of compassion for the fallen conditioned souls." Those who are under the influence of the illusory energy are attracted to fruitive activities, but a Vaisnava preacher attracts their hearts to the Supreme Personality of Godhead, Sri Krsna.
