Devotee is transcendental to material world!

Verse 1.4.3 and 1.4.4: What a liberated soul does, or a person who tries to liberate himself does, the conditioned soul cannot even understand it.
Eg: Devotee in Mumbai temple distributing books for a long time. His father was a big person in the Railways. TC abused this boy for distributing books, beat him up. But this boy did not even tell that his father was a big man in the railways. Second person came and rescued him from the TC, and told him he was also a Hare Krishna devotee. He saw how the boy was doing the best welfare activity for mankind by distributing these books.

People who are materially attached think we are another nonsense, distributing books as beggars in trains. So devotee's actions are not understood.

Similarly, Sukadeva Goswami was a liberated soul, but to the materially affected people he appeared to be a like a beggar. They did not know him at all. But when he came to the audience of Maharaj Parikshit, everybody stood up since they knew this spiritual potency.

Eg: Haridas thakur, Srivas thakur were abused in public place, their eternal spiritual nature was not understood by people in general.
