Commentary: Gauḍīya-bhāṣya by Śrīla Bhaktisiddhānta Sarasvatī Ṭhākura:
When the living entities’ highest spiritual propensities are engaged in the
service of the Supreme Lord, who is full in six opulences, there is no inconvenience for them. When a living entity becomes greedy for objects not related to the Lord, he loses his opulences and, being disturbed by his restless mind, he furthers his conditional life. That is why the author, with a desire to be attracted to the Supreme Lord, is hereby praying for His mercy.
