The dog does not go to any master, but he follows his master, and the master out of affection gives him food and drink. So Bhaktivinoda Ṭhākura has taught us that vaiṣṇava ṭhākura tomāra kukura baliyā jānaha more. You have to become a dog of a Vaiṣṇava.

Anyone who is under the influence of the three qualities of material nature, he is as good as the person ghostly-haunted, grasta jīvera haya. We cannot see on our own account, because every one of us ghostly-haunted, I mean under the influence of the material nature. You see varieties of philosophers, varieties of scientists, anything, without . . . (indistinct) . . . varieties of material nature.

So we cannot expect a sane man, so why you should be angry upon a man, or why should you blame them? This is called Vaiṣṇava behavior. The Vaiṣṇava's only desire is that "These people are suffering under the influence of material nature, and they are talking all nonsense. What shall I save them? Why shall I condemn them? Let them pray to Kṛṣṇa, let them become sane and . . . (indistinct) . . ." This is Vaiṣṇava. It is just like the physician is treating patients, and one patient is . . . (indistinct) . . . But if the physician becomes angry upon the patient, then he cannot treat. Therefore Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu has advised to the preacher,

tṛṇād api sunīcena

taror api sahiṣṇunā

amāninā mānadena

kīrtanīyaḥ sadā hariḥ

(CC Adi 17.31)

Just to become tolerant. People will break the rules . . . (indistinct) . . . under the influence of the material nature, and they will talk all kinds of nonsense. But we don't care, neither we complain. We never complain. That is called . . . (indistinct) . . . You have to follow the paramahaṁsas. Kṛṣṇa is the property of all. Bhaktivinoda Ṭhākura has sung, vaiṣṇava ṭhākura tomāra kukura baliyā jānaha more. Just like the dog follows the master to get something. The dog does not go to any master, but he follows his master, and the master out of affection gives him food and drink. So Bhaktivinoda Ṭhākura has taught us that vaiṣṇava ṭhākura tomāra kukura baliyā jānaha more. You have to become a dog of a Vaiṣṇava. And Narottama dāsa Ṭhākura says that chādiyā vaiṣṇava-sevā nistara paveche kebā: without serving the Vaiṣṇava, nobody can get out of the clutches of māyā. That is not possible.
