All Five Senses Attracted to Kṛṣṇa
“When Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu realized Lord Jagannātha to be Kṛṣṇa Himself, Lord Caitanya’s five senses immediately became absorbed in attraction for the five attributes of Lord Kṛṣṇa.”
What the purport teaches
- When Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu realized Lord Jagannātha to be Kṛṣṇa Himself, His five senses immediately became absorbed in attraction for Kṛṣṇa’s five attributes.
- Kṛṣṇa’s beauty attracted His eyes, while Kṛṣṇa’s singing and flute vibration attracted His ears. The transcendental fragrance of Kṛṣṇa’s lotus feet attracted His nostrils.
- Kṛṣṇa’s transcendental sweetness attracted His tongue, and Kṛṣṇa’s bodily touch attracted His sensation of touch. Each sense was attracted by a corresponding attribute of Kṛṣṇa.
