Service Attentive to the Lord’s Mind
“The next day, Caitanya dāsa, the son of Śivānanda Sena, extended an invitation to the Lord. He could understand the Lord’s mind, however, and therefore he arranged for a different kind of food.”
What the purport teaches
- The next day, Caitanya dāsa, the son of Śivānanda Sena, invited the Lord.
- He could understand the Lord’s mind after the previous day’s heavy meal.
- He therefore arranged a different kind of food rather than repeating the earlier meal.
