Live Caitanya Caritamrta · CC Madhya 14.46
The Holy Name Awakens Ecstatic Love
“As soon as the beggars chanted the holy name, “Haribol,” they were immediately absorbed in ecstatic love of Godhead. In this way Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu performed wonderful pastimes.”
What the purport teaches
- As soon as the beggars chanted “Haribol,” they were absorbed in ecstatic love of Godhead. This was one of Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu’s wonderful pastimes.
- To feel ecstatic love of God is to be on the transcendental platform. One who remains in that position will surely return home, back to Godhead.
- In the spiritual world there are no higher, middle or lower classes.
