Dependence on the Lord’s Order
“I am completely dependent. My Lord is Gauracandra, Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu. I cannot do anything independently, without His order.
What the purport teaches
- Gadādhara Paṇḍita described himself as completely dependent.
- He named Gauracandra, Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu, as his Lord.
- He would not act independently, without the Lord’s order. This explained why he could not simply agree to initiate Vallabha Bhaṭṭa.
