চৈতন্যের দণ্ডে যা’র চিত্তে নাহি ভয জন্মে জন্মে সেই জীব যম-দণ্ড্য হয ॥ ১১৫ ॥

चैतन्येर दण्डे या’र चित्ते नाहि भय जन्मे जन्मे सेइ जीव यम-दण्ड्य हय ॥ ११५ ॥

caitanyera daṇḍe yā’ra citte nāhi bhaya janme janme sei jīva yama-daṇḍya haya || 115 ||

caitanyera dande ya’ra citte nahi bhaya janme janme sei jiva yama-dandya haya (115)

English translation:

(115) A living entity who does not fear Lord Caitanya’s punishment is punished by Yamarāja, birth after birth.

Commentary: Gauḍīya-bhāṣya by Śrīla Bhaktisiddhānta Sarasvatī Ṭhākura:

Śrī Caitanyadeva punished the Māyāvādī Vedāntists by adopting the principle of noncooperation with them. Those who are not afraid of such severe punishment are sufficiently punished in every life by Yamarāja.

All demigods are servants of the Supreme Lord; they constantly engage in glorifying topics of the Supreme Lord. People who are averse to the service of the demigods and brāhmaṇas can never become attached to the lotus feet of Śrī Gaurasundara. If one does not have intense attachment for the lotus feet of Śrī Caitanya, then useless inclination towards impersonalism is completely futile. Activities like studying Māyāvāda Vedānta, becoming devoid of devotion to Viṣṇu, and renouncing material enjoyment are all useless and futile for people who are bereft of Śrī Mahāprabhu’s service.
