Hear Vedānta with Humility
“When all the Māyāvādī sannyāsīs thus heard the explanation of Caitanya Mahāprabhu on the basis of sambandha, abhidheya and prayojana, they spoke very humbly.”
What the purport teaches
- Those who truly desire to understand Vedānta must accept the explanation of Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu.
- The Vaiṣṇava ācāryas also explain the Vedānta-sūtra according to the principles of bhakti-yoga.
- After hearing the Lord's explanation, the sannyāsīs headed by Prakāśānanda Sarasvatī became humble and obedient. They then spoke very humbly.
