Commentary: Gauḍīya-bhāṣya by Śrīla Bhaktisiddhānta Sarasvatī Ṭhākura:
Those who lived at home and served Śrīman Mahāprabhu were the Lord’s householder devotees, and those who had the opportunity to live and constantly hear topics of the Supreme Lord in the Lord’s holy abode after having severed household ties became indifferent to their house and family members and went to reside in Nīlācala with Śrī Caitanyadeva.
That is why those who at present have the opportunity to retire from family life live in a temple to constantly serve Śrī Caitanyadeva.
