	You haven't got to be disappointed because some of the envious person, they are not accepting you as Vaiṣṇava. Śrīpāda Nṛsiṁha-vallabha Gosvāmī, quoting from many authorized scriptures, he has proved that in the matter of engaging oneself in the devotional service, there is no check, there is no impediment. That is confirmed in the ''Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam: ahaituky apratihatā'' ([[SB 1.2.6\|SB 1.2.6]]). That he has very nicely explained, quoting many authoritative statement from scriptures. And another thing: it is a fact that nobody can check ''kṛṣṇa-bhakti''. It is transcendental; it is not material. Unless one acts on the platform of spiritual activities, one cannot understand why ''bhakti'' is ''apratihatā''. ''Pratihatā'' means checked by impediments. So that is for material things. Just like a living being, a soul, he is checked by this material body. Otherwise, a living being can go anywhere, ''sarva-gaḥ''. The spirit soul is free to move anywhere, but because we are now covered by the material body, we are checked. But devotional service is on the transcendental platform; it cannot be checked. Therefore in the ''Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam'' it is explained, ''ahaituky apratihatā yenātmā samprasīdati''.

	So I am very much pleased. I will not take much time. The ''āratik'' time is now. You do not be disappointed by the activities of some envious person. ''Bhāgavata-dharma'' is meant for the nonenvious person. ''Paramo nirmatsarāṇām'' ([[SB 1.1.2\|SB 1.1.2]]). ''Nirmatsara''. Anyone who is contaminated by envy, he cannot become Vaiṣṇava. He may be a envious animal, but Vaiṣṇava is ''paramahaṁsa, parama nirmatsarāṇām''. He is not envious. ''Para-duḥkha-duḥkhī''. Vaiṣṇava, ''para-duḥkha-duḥkhī''. Śrī Prahlāda Mahārāja says, "My Lord Nṛsiṁha-deva, I have no problems." ''Naivodvije para duratyayā-vaitaraṇyāḥ tvad-vīrya-gāyana-mahāmṛta-magna-cittaḥ'' ([[SB 7.9.43\|SB 7.9.43]]). "Personally, I have no problem. But I am sorry, very sorry, because. . ." ''tato vimukha-cetasa'', "those who are bereft of Your devotional service, for them I am sorry." So Vaiṣṇava is sorry for others' difficulties. Otherwise Vaiṣṇava has no difficulty. He is ''aprākṛta''. So,		So I am very much pleased. I will not take much time. The ''āratik'' time is now.
