Commentary: Gauḍīya-bhāṣya by Śrīla Bhaktisiddhānta Sarasvatī Ṭhākura:
There are two types of crying—shedding tears of joy out of emotion and shedding tears while crying out in affliction from the distress of deficiency. When Vaiṣṇavas see distress within this world, both types of emotions naturally appear in them.
