ÅšrÄ« Caitanya MahÄprabhu was unaffected. He left swiftly, and Advaita Ä€cÄrya followed Him, weeping.

Purport

As ÅšrÄ«la BhaktisiddhÄnta SarasvatÄ« ṬhÄkura explains, the word nirapeká¹£a means not being affected by anything material and remaining fixed in the service of the Lord. ÅšrÄ« Caitanya MahÄprabhu did not very much care for the roaring tumult and cry at the house of Advaita Ä€cÄrya, which He heard when starting for JagannÄtha PurÄ«. Worldly moralists may criticize ÅšrÄ« Caitanya MahÄprabhu for being very cruel, but the Lord did not care for such criticism. As the world teacher of this Kṛṣṇa consciousness movement, He actually showed that a person seriously engaged in Kṛṣṇa consciousness should not be affected by worldly affection. The best course is to engage in rendering service to the Lord and to become callous to material objectives. Externally everyone is attached to material things, but if one becomes entangled in such things, he cannot make progress in Kṛṣṇa consciousness. Therefore those who are engaged in Kṛṣṇa consciousness should not care for the so-called morality of the material world if that morality opposes the service of the Lord. As Lord Caitanya MahÄprabhu has personally shown, one cannot properly execute Kṛṣṇa consciousness without being neutral.
