Even though neglected, insulted, ridiculed or envied by bad men, or even though repeatedly agitated by being beaten, tied up or deprived of one’s occupation, spat upon or polluted with urine by ignorant people, one who desires the highest goal in life should in spite of all these difficulties use his intelligence to keep himself safe on the spiritual platform.

Throughout history many of the above-mentioned inconveniences have been experienced by devotees of the Lord. One who is advanced in God consciousness does not allow himself to become obsessed with the material body even in such conditions, but rather keeps the mind fixed on the spiritual platform through proper intelligence.

— A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupāda
Viśvanātha Cakravartī Ṭhākura Gauḍīya
Translation
Even though pulled from his house, disrespected, mocked, found full of faults, tied up, beaten, deprived of hi occupation, spat upon, polluted with urine by materialists, or agitated by ignorant people, a person who desires the highest goal in life should endure those difficulties and should deliver himself by his intelligence. How does person devoid of material enjoyment live? That is explained in two verses. Kṣiptaḥ means “pulled outside” or “abused with words.” Pralabdhaḥ means “mocked.” Asṣyitaḥ means finding fault in him. Even if he is deprived of his livelihood, he should remain without agitation. Niṣṭhyutaḥ means “spat on.”
