Humility Before Deep and Meaningful Pastimes
“I cannot understand the very deep, meaningful pastimes of Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu. My intelligence cannot penetrate them, and therefore I could not properly describe them.”
What the purport teaches
- The pastimes of Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu are very deep and meaningful.
- The author says that his intelligence cannot penetrate them.
- He therefore feels that he could not properly describe them, openly acknowledging the limits of his understanding.
