So we should not remain ''vimūḍha''. We should become intelligent. And to make us intelligent, Kṛṣṇa comes, Kṛṣṇa's devotees come, some messenger comes. And Śrīla Bhaktisiddhānta Sarasvatī Ṭhākura is one of the messengers of Kṛṣṇa Caitanya Mahāprabhu to preach Kṛṣṇa consciousness. And not only he preached, but he trained up many disciples to preach this Kṛṣṇa consciousness all over the world. So by his grace we are also endeavoring to do something. This is called ''paramparā'' system. So we should take advantage of this Vaiṣṇava mission. As Caitanya . . . Prahlāda Mahārāja said, "They are very anxious." Vaiṣṇava means ''para-duḥkha-duḥkhī. Kṛpaṁbudhir yas tam, ahaṁ prapadye'' ([[vanisource:CC Madhya 6.254|CC Madhya 6.254]]). ''Para-duḥkha-duḥkhī''. Vaiṣṇava . . . Our Guru Mahārāja, Bhaktisiddhānta Sarasvatī Ṭhākura, he is Vaiṣṇava, cent percent Vaiṣṇava. And he was ''para-duḥkha-duḥkhi''. This is Vaiṣṇava. He criticized ''nirjana bhajana''. He has personally written one song, ''mana tumi kīsera vaiṣṇava. Nirjanera ghare pratiṣṭhāra tare, tava hari-nāma kevala kaitava. Mana tumi kīsera vaiṣṇava''. He has written long song. ''Jaḍera pratiṣṭhā sukharer viṣṭha''. Vaiṣṇava means he doesn't want any material profit or material opulence or material reputation. He doesn't want. This is ''chāyā''. But in the material world everyone is busy for three things—material profit, material reputation—(Sanskrit)—and material adoration. This is not Vaiṣṇava's business. Vaiṣṇava never cares for all these things. Vaiṣṇava is always thinking how to do good to the suffering humanity. ''Lokānāṁ-hita-kāriṇau''. About Six Gosvāmīs it is said, ''nānā-śāstra-vicaraṇaika-nipuṇau sad-dharma-saṁsthāpakau lokānāṁ hita-kāriṇau tri-bhuvane mānyau śaraṇyākarau''. This is Vaiṣṇava. ''Nānā-śāstra-vicaraṇaika-nipuṇau''. In the ''śāstra'', everything is there. Just like Śrīla Rūpa Gosvāmī has given us ''Bhakti-rasāmṛta-sindhu'' to understand what is ''bhakti''. We have tried to translate it into English, the ''Nectar of Devotion''. So why? Rūpa Gosvāmī was the minister in the government of Hussain Shah. Very opulent position. ''Tyaktvā tūrṇam aśeṣa-maṇḍala-pati-śreṇīṁ sadā tucchavat bhūtvā dīna-gaṇeśakau karuṇayā kaupīna-kanthāśritau''. They resigned the high post of ministership and joined Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu for pushing on and on this Kṛṣṇa consciousness movement. ''Tyaktvā tūrṇam aśeṣa-maṇḍala-pati-śreṇīṁ sadā tucchavat bhūtvā dīna-gaṇeśakau karuṇayā kaupīna-kanthāśritau''.
