Śrīla Prabhupāda · Śrī Caitanya Caritamrta Madhya 16.268, translation

  • The verse describes taking time to think over advice already received.

Try this today

Set aside two quiet minutes tonight to consider advice you have received.

Ask yourself

What advice would benefit from quiet reflection rather than a quick response?

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.
