Live Caitanya Caritamrta · CC Antya 4.54

Attend to the Lord’s Personal Instruction

“One day when the Lord came to meet them, He suddenly began speaking to Sanātana Gosvāmī.”

Śrīla Prabhupāda · Śrī Caitanya Caritamrta Antya 4.54, translation

What the purport teaches

  • One day, Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu comes to meet the two devotees.
  • He suddenly begins speaking directly to Sanātana Gosvāmī.
  • This begins His instruction that Kṛṣṇa is attained through devotional service, not by giving up the body.

Try this today

Read the Lord’s next two statements slowly, noticing the means He gives for attaining Kṛṣṇa.

Ask yourself

Am I ready to give careful attention to an instruction that challenges my assumptions?

Carry the question through the day, then answer it in your own words before sleep.

The study points are short summaries drawn from Śrīla Prabhupāda's translation and purport; the practice and question are plain words for trying the verse today.
