Nirmatsarau. Nirmatsarau means they were not en . . . Vaiṣṇava is not envious. Vaiṣṇava's only business is to see people, how they will . . . (break) . . . let them go to hell. This is Prahlāda Mahārāja's philosophy. ''Śoce tato vimukha-cetasa indriyārtha-māyā-sukhāya bharam udvahato vimūḍhān'' ([[vanisource:SB 7.9.43|SB 7.9.43]]). The whole world is suffering from the material disease, and they are always unhappy. So let us preach this Kṛṣṇa consciousness. They should try to save at least one man. That was the version of my Guru Mahārāja that, "I have got so many temples and buildings. If by selling all these buildings, if I can save one man from this material disease, then my mission will be successful." He used to say like that. So that is ''gosvāmī''. They are trying, always trying, how to save. ''Nānā-śāstra-vicāraṇaika-nipuṇau sad-dharma-saṁsthāpakau''. Just like ''Bhakti-rasāmṛta-sindhu''. Śrīla Rūpa Gosvāmī, writing ''Bhakti-rasāmṛta-sindhu'', quoting from so many Vedic literature, giving evidence. Because formerly people would take it as truth when it is proved by the version of the Vedic literature. Nowadays, they have become more and more rascal. They would not take any evidence. They will take evidence of their only senses. If they like, they will accept. If they do not like, they will . . . formerly, the society was not so much degraded. They, as soon as you give evidence from the Vedic literature, they would accept.

So these Gosvāmīs therefore were making research from the Vedic literature—from the''Purāṇas'', from the ''Vedas'', from the ''Vedānta''-''sūtra'' and ''Upaniṣad'', like that, ''Mahābhārata'', ''Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam'', and ''Sāma Veda, Ṛg Veda''. You'll find in the ''Bhakti-rasāmṛta-sindhu'' evidences . . . ''nānā-śāstra-vicāraṇaika-nipuṇau sad-dharma-saṁsthāpakau''. What is the . . . what was the purpose? The purpose was to establish real religious principle. If actually Gosvāmī principles were followed strictly and real ''gosvāmīs'' would preach, then there would not have continued the so-called religious system, or increase the so-called . . . because any religious system which . . . that is the verdict of ''Bhāgavata. Sa vai puṁsāṁ paro dharmo yato bhaktir adhokṣaje, ahaituky apratihatā'' ([[vanisource:SB 1.2.6|SB 1.2.6]]). Religion means by following the system one will become a great lover of God, or Kṛṣṇa. That is religion.</p>
