Commentary: Gauḍīya-bhāṣya by Śrīla Bhaktisiddhānta Sarasvatī Ṭhākura:

Nityānanda is śrī guru-tattva. It is not proper for the Lord’s devotees to have any relationship with those who associate with any atheist envious of Nityānanda, whose body is nondifferent from Kṛṣṇa. The qualification to serve the lotus feet of the spiritual master diminishes by the influence of bad association. Therefore one should never act in a way that will disrupt remembrance of one’s spiritual master, who is the unalloyed eternal servant of Śrī Gaurasundara and whose body is nondifferent from Śrī Gaurasundara. Those who use spiritual life for material gain are not devotees but servants of sense gratification. A so-called devotee and a devotee have completely opposite characteristics. That is why it is very unfortunate to consider those who indulge in materialistic association as members of a spiritual society. When one invites his own destruction, he becomes deprived of spiritual life and considers the spiritual master, who is nondifferent from Nityānanda, as separate from Śrī Nityānanda, the prakāśa-vigraha of Śrī Kṛṣṇa Caitanya. Such people can never attain the service of Śrī Gaurasundara. They suffer perpetually because of disrespecting their guru.

The path currently pursued by some completely duplicitous so-called devotees opposed to Śrī Gauḍīya Maṭha will result in inauspiciousness. That is why the devotees are greatly distressed to see their impending inauspiciousness.
