Commentary: Gauḍīya-bhāṣya by Śrīla Bhaktisiddhānta Sarasvatī Ṭhākura:

Since many foolish people are unable to ascertain the truth, they consider sense gratification born of ignorance as the goal of life. Because people attached to śākta philosophy glorify their own sense gratification, they cannot understand unalloyed service to Adhokṣaja. Prākṛta-sahajiyās are fit to be addressed as “pāpīśāktas”. Their goal of life is material enjoyment. Just as Śrī Gaurasundara cheated such prākṛta-sahajiyās by approving of their activities when He met them, the most pure spiritual master of this fallen soul also recently cheated many people interested in material enjoyment by following the example set by Śrī Caitanya. People interested in material enjoyment think that the Vaiṣṇavas hanker after name and fame as they do. Such prākṛta-sahajiyās or sinful śāktas also know that when they spread their network of wicked motives to compel the Vaiṣṇavas to become attached householders by tempting them with household comforts, the most independent Vaiṣṇavas will rebuke them with angry words. The Vaiṣṇavas never visit the homes of prākṛta- sahajiyās. The most independent pure Vaiṣṇavas never participate in any gathering arranged by any prākṛta-sahajiyā. Foolish people think that the supremely liberated mahā-bhāgavatas support their sinful activities, but the actual aim of Śrī Gaurasundara and His devotees is to deceive them by remaining aloof from their bad association.
