Live Caitanya Caritamrta · CC Ādi 7.23
Distribute love of God without discrimination
“In distributing love of Godhead, Caitanya Mahāprabhu and His associates did not consider who was a fit candidate and who was not, nor where such distribution should or should not take place. They made no conditions. Wherever they got the opportunity, the members of the Pañca-tattva distributed love of Godhead.”
What the purport teaches
- Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu and His associates placed no conditions on distributing love of Godhead. They shared it wherever they had an opportunity.
- One should not judge recipients by whether they are Europeans, Americans, Hindus or Muslims. Those who become Vaiṣṇavas should be honored beyond distinctions of nationality or social identity.
- Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu desired His name to spread to every town and village. Following the Pañca-tattva means spreading Kṛṣṇa consciousness wherever possible.
