Svarūpa Dāmodara Rejects the False Guess
“We cannot see his material form,” they said, “but still we hear his sweet singing. Therefore he must have become a ghost.”
What the purport teaches
- The devotees said that they could not see Haridāsa’s material form but could hear his sweet singing.
- From this, they concluded that he must have become a ghost.
- Svarūpa Dāmodara protested, “This is a false guess.” His correction rejects their conclusion without denying that they heard the singing.
