Pure devotees do not envy recognized Vaisnavas

[Bhakti Vikasa Swami]

Seeing the Lord's special mercy upon King Prataparudra, the devotees praised
the King's good fortune, and their minds became open and blissful.

This is characteristic of a pure Vaisnava. He is never envious if another
devotee receives the mercy and strength of Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu. A pure
Vaisnava is very happy to see a person elevated in devotional service.
Unfortunately, there are many so-called Vaisnavas who become envious to see
someone actually recognized by Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu. It is a fact that no
one can preach Caitanya Mahaprabhu's message without receiving the special
mercy of the Lord. This is known to every Vaisnava. Yet there are some
envious people who cannot tolerate the expansion of this Krsna consciousness
movement all over the world. They find fault with the preacher who has
spread this movement and do not praise him for the excellent service he has
rendered in fulfilling Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu's mission.
