Let correction lead to practical change

“Thus Bhagavān Ācārya, greatly ashamed and fearful, remained silent. The next day, he asked Gopāla Bhaṭṭācārya to return to his own district.”

Śrīla Prabhupāda · Śrī Caitanya Caritamrta Antya 2.100, translation

What the purport teaches

  • He remains silent rather than continuing to argue for hearing the commentary.
  • The next day, he asks Gopāla Bhaṭṭācārya to return to his own district, bringing the exchange to a practical conclusion.
