Daily Visits Without Genuine Appreciation
“In this way Rāmacandra Purī blasphemed Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu before everyone, but nevertheless he would regularly come to see the Lord every day.”
What the purport teaches
- Rāmacandra Purī blasphemed Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu before everyone.
- Nevertheless, he regularly came to see the Lord every day.
- His repeated visits did not stop his fault-finding; visiting the Lord and appreciating Him were not the same for Rāmacandra Purī.
Try this today
Today, refrain from repeating one disparaging comment about someone you regularly meet.
Ask yourself
Does my speech about someone show the respect I appear to offer in their presence?
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.
