Live Caitanya Caritamrta · CC Antya 8.54

Take the Lord’s Instruction Seriously

“If you bring any more than this, you will not see Me here anymore.”

Śrīla Prabhupāda · Śrī Caitanya Caritamrta Antya 8.54, translation

What the purport teaches

  • Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu told Govinda not to bring more than the stated amount.
  • He warned that if Govinda brought more, Govinda would no longer see Him there.
  • This warning made clear how firmly He intended the restriction to be followed.
