Live Caitanya Caritamrta · CC Madhya 15.232
Everything Is Possible Through His Mercy
“Sārvabhauma Bhaṭṭācārya said, “It is not so wonderful, my Lord. Everything has been made possible by the energy and mercy of Him who will eat the food.”
What the purport teaches
- Sārvabhauma Bhaṭṭācārya does not present the meal as his own wonderful achievement.
- He says that everything has been made possible by the energy and mercy of Him who will eat the food.
- His reply places the credit with the Lord rather than with the cook.
