Live Caitanya Caritamrta · CC Antya 9.95

A Moment With the Lord Surpasses Wealth

“If even for a moment I could get an interview with Lord Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu, I would not care for the profit of millions of cintāmaṇi stones.

Śrīla Prabhupāda · Śrī Caitanya Caritamrta Antya 9.95, translation

What the purport teaches

  • The King longs for even a moment's interview with Lord Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu.
  • Compared with that meeting, he would not care for the profit of millions of cintāmaṇi stones.
  • His words place meeting the Lord far above immense material gain.

Try this today

Read the King's words slowly today and reflect for one minute on his longing to meet the Lord.

Ask yourself

How does the King's longing challenge my own measure of what is valuable?

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.
