1. Pure devotees do not envy recognized Vaisnavas

    Seeing the Lord’s special mercy upon King Prataparudra, the devotees praised the King’s good fortune, and their minds became open and blissful.

    This is characteristic of a pure Vaisnava. He is never envious if another devotee receives the mercy and strength of Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu. A pure Vaisnava is very happy to see a person elevated in devotional service. Unfortunately, there are many so-called Vaisnavas who become envious to see someone actually recognized by Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu. It is a fact that no one can preach Caitanya Mahaprabhu’s message without receiving the special mercy of the Lord. This is known to every Vaisnava. Yet there are some envious people who cannot tolerate the expansion of this Krsna consciousness movement all over the world. They find fault with the preacher who has spread this movement and do not praise him for the excellent service he has rendered in fulfilling Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu’s mission.
