CC Antya 20.55
Bengali
সেই নারী জীয়ে কেনে, কৃষ্ণ-মর্ম ব্যথা জানে, তবু কৃষ্ণে করে গাঢ় রোষ ।
নিজ-সুখে মানে কাজ, পড়ুক তার শিরে বাজ, কৃষ্ণের মাত্র চাহিয়ে সন্তোষ ॥ ৫৫ ॥
নিজ-সুখে মানে কাজ, পড়ুক তার শিরে বাজ, কৃষ্ণের মাত্র চাহিয়ে সন্তোষ ॥ ৫৫ ॥

Translation
“Why does a woman continue to live who knows that Kṛṣṇa’s heart is unhappy but who still shows her deep anger toward Him? She is interested in her own happiness. I condemn such a woman to be struck on the head with a thunderbolt, for We simply want the happiness of Kṛṣṇa.
Purport
A devotee who is satisfied only with his own sense gratification certainly falls down from the service of Kṛṣṇa. Being attracted by material happiness, he later joins the prākṛta-sahajiyās, who are considered to be nondevotees.
