Commentary: Gauḍīya-bhāṣya by Śrīla Bhaktisiddhānta Sarasvatī Ṭhākura:

One cannot get a clear idea of an object of vision simply by seeing the middle portion of it. Living entities do not see the portions of the supreme consciousness that are covered by their propensity to enjoy, and as a result all of Śrī Caitanyadeva’s eternal pastimes remain covered from the eyes of ordinary people. Those who are free from the coverings of karma and jñāna and as such do not chase desires for either enjoying the fruits of their karma or for the will-o’-the-wisp of renouncing the fruits of their karma can certainly always see the pastimes of Śrī Caitanya. The human beings’ propensities for enjoyment and renunciation make them materially conditioned. When they become free from the clutches of such conditioning, they achieve the power to surpass the platforms of enjoyment and renunciation. Otherwise, according to mortal and temporary considerations, they develop the sinful thirst for equating the pastimes of Śrī Caitanya with the karma- and jñāna-covered pastimes of human beings.
