“The ocean of transcendental bliss overflowed, and everyone present forgot his body, mind and home.”

Śrīla Prabhupāda · Śrī Caitanya Caritamrta Antya 10.76, translation

What the purport teaches

  • Transcendental bliss is described as an overflowing ocean.
  • Everyone present was absorbed in that bliss.
  • They forgot their bodies, minds and homes amid the Lord’s dancing and the chanting.

What does everyone’s forgetfulness of body, mind and home reveal about their absorption?

Carry the question through the day, then answer it in your own words before sleep.
