শ্রী-কৃষ্ণ-চৈতন্য-নামে বিমুখ যে জন নিশ্চয জানিহ সেই পাপী ভূত-গণ ॥ ৭২ ॥
श्री-कृष्ण-चैतन्य-नामे विमुख ये जन निश्चय जानिह सेइ पापी भूत-गण ॥ ७२ ॥
śrī-kṛṣṇa-caitanya-nāme vimukha ye jana niścaya jāniha sei pāpī bhūta-gaṇa || 72 ||
sri-krsna-caitanya-name vimukha ye jana niscaya janiha sei papi bhuta-gana (72)
English translation:
(72) Know for certain that anyone who is averse to chanting the name of Śrī Kṛṣṇa Caitanya is a sinful, ghostly-haunted person.
Commentary: Gauḍīya-bhāṣya by Śrīla Bhaktisiddhānta Sarasvatī Ṭhākura:
Among human beings, those unfortunate people who out of envy do not display any inclination for the service of Śrī Kṛṣṇa Caitanya are sinful and ghostly-haunted. There is no doubt about this. When one lacks interest for achieving love for Kṛṣṇa, he develops sinful propensities. As a result, that person becomes interested only in sense gratification and falls into a lower species of life.
In this regard one should refer to Caitanya-candrāmṛta (31-32).
