Commentary: Gauḍīya-bhāṣya by Śrīla Bhaktisiddhānta Sarasvatī Ṭhākura:

Two classes of people live in society—the first are called Vaiṣṇava- maṇḍala (daiva-samāja), who are attached to the devotional service of Lord Viṣṇu, and the other are called Avaiṣṇava-maṇḍala (asura-samāja), who are devoid of devotional service to Lord Viṣṇu and who engage in worshiping many gods. Śrī Advaita Prabhu was the leader of that Vaiṣṇava-samāja. In the Padma Purāṇa it is stated:

dvau bhūta-sargau loke ‘smin daiva āsura eva ca viṣṇu-bhaktaḥ smṛto daiva āsuras tad-viparyayaḥ

“There are two classes of men in the created world. One consists of the demoniac and the other of the godly. The devotees of Lord Viṣṇu are the godly, whereas those who are just the opposite are called demons.”

In order to gratify their senses, the conditioned souls make useless noises. The devotees of the Lord, however, profusely dance and sing for the service of Kṛṣṇa and thus display their respective sentiments for the service of the Lord.
