Haridāsa Receives the Lord’s Mercy
“Immediately after committing suicide in this way, he went in his spiritual body to Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu and received the mercy of the Lord. However, he still remained invisible.”
What the purport teaches
- The translation explicitly describes Haridāsa’s death as suicide.
- It recounts that afterward he went in his spiritual body to Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu and received the Lord’s mercy.
- Haridāsa remained invisible. This account of his particular outcome is not an instruction to seek mercy through self-harm.
