Commentary: Gauḍīya-bhāṣya by Śrīla Bhaktisiddhānta Sarasvatī Ṭhākura:

“Each of the Supreme Lord’s incarnations preach and benefit some particular persons, but in Your incarnation as Gaurāṅga You will benefit the entire world by inaugurating the process of kīrtana. You will dance with innumerable servants and make the entire world jubilant.”

Śrīla Prabodhānanda Sarasvatīpāda has written in his Śrī Caitanya- candrāmṛta (5) as follows:

kaivalyaṃ narakāyate tridaśa-pūr ākāśa-puṣpāyate durdāntendriya-kāla-sarpa-paṭalī protkhāta-daṃṣṭrāyate viśvaṃ pūrṇa-sukhāyate vidhi-mahendrādiś ca kīṭāyate

yat kāruṇya-kaṭākṣa-vaibhavavatāṃ taṃ gauram eva stumaḥ

“For a devotee who has received Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu’s merciful glance, kaivalya, merging into the existence of Brahman, appears hellish, the heavenly planets appear like phantasmagoria, the senses appear like serpents with broken teeth, the entire world becomes a replica of Vaikuṇṭha, and the position of demigods headed by Lord Brahmā and

Lord Indra is considered equal to that of a tiny insect.”
