Honor Authorized Spiritual Guidance
“My dear Sanātana, you are on the level of My advisor, for you are an authorized person. But Jagā wants to advise you. This is but the impudence of a naughty boy.”
What the purport teaches
- Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu addresses Sanātana affectionately as “My dear Sanātana.”
- He calls Sanātana an authorized person and places him on the level of His own advisor.
- Against this standing, Jagā’s attempt to advise Sanātana is described as the impudence of a naughty boy.
