Following Makes Learning Successful
“Only if you follow the principles of Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu and His devotees will your learning be successful. Then you will be able to write about the transcendental pastimes of Kṛṣṇa without material contamination.
What the purport teaches
- Learning becomes successful only by following the principles of Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu and His devotees.

- By following them, one becomes able to write about the transcendental pastimes of Kṛṣṇa without material contamination.
