Care Follows Through

“The Lord told him, “Go see whether Jagadānanda Paṇḍita is eating. Then quickly return and let Me know.””

Śrīla Prabhupāda · Śrī Caitanya Caritamrta Antya 12.150, translation

What the purport teaches

  • The Lord asks Govinda to see whether Jagadānanda Paṇḍita is eating.
  • He tells Govinda to return quickly and report what he finds.
  • The Lord’s concern includes making sure that Jagadānanda Paṇḍita actually takes his meal.
