Commentary: Gauḍīya-bhāṣya by Śrīla Bhaktisiddhānta Sarasvatī Ṭhākura:
On the strength of their mundane knowledge, the materialists cannot understand the position of a mahā-bhāgavata, paramahaṃsa Vaiṣṇava. Actually no one is the friend or enemy of a Vaiṣṇava. Because he considers everyone in the world as a Vaiṣṇava, he is the friend of everyone, and being devoid of conception of mundane enjoyment, he sees everyone, friends and enemies, equally.
