Live Caitanya Caritamrta · CC Ādi 14.1
Remembering Lord Caitanya Makes Difficult Things Easy
“Things that are very difficult to do become easy to execute if one somehow or other simply remembers Lord Caitanya Mahāprabhu. But if one does not remember Him, even easy things become very difficult. To this Lord Caitanya Mahāprabhu I offer my respectful obeisances.”
What the purport teaches
- Simply remembering Lord Caitanya Mahāprabhu makes very difficult things easy to execute. Without remembering Him, even easy things become difficult.
- One who receives a little favor from the Lord does not care even for liberation. A devotee of Lord Caitanya also considers residence in the heavenly planets a will-o’-the-wisp.
- For one engaged in the Lord’s service, the senses are like snakes with broken fangs: they are no longer dangerous. These are the gifts of Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu.
