Capable Management Did Not End His Longing

“In this way Raghunātha dāsa passed one year exactly like a first-class business manager, but the next year he again decided to leave home.”

Śrīla Prabhupāda · Śrī Caitanya Caritamrta Antya 6.35, translation

What the purport teaches

  • Raghunātha dāsa spends one year acting exactly like a first-class business manager.
  • His ability to manage affairs does not mean that he wishes to remain at home.
  • The next year, he again decides to leave home.
