Antya 20.55 Sri Caitanya-caritamrta

TEXT 55

tabu krsne kare gadha rosa

nija-sukhe mane kaja, paduka tara sire vaja,

krsnera matra cahiye santosa

TRANSLATION

"Why does a woman continue to live who knows that Krsna's heart is unhappy but who still shows her deep anger toward Him? She is interested in her own happiness. I condemn such a woman to be struck on the head with a thunderbolt, for we simply want the happiness of Krsna.

PURPORT

A devotee who is satisfied only with his own sense gratification certainly falls down from the service of Krsna. Being attracted by material happiness, he later joins the prakrta-sahajiyas, who are considered to be nondevotees.
