Live Caitanya Caritamrta · CC Madhya 17.184
Bhakti Unites on the Absolute Platform
“Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu replied, “The Vedas, Purāṇas and great learned sages are not always in agreement with one another. Consequently there are different religious principles.”
What the purport teaches
- The Vedas, Purāṇas and learned sages are not always in agreement, and consequently there are different religious principles.
- On the material platform there is no possibility of agreement. The Absolute Truth, however, is one, and on that platform there is no disagreement.
- On the absolute platform, the Supreme Personality of Godhead is worshipable. The worshipful Deity is one, and the process of worship is bhakti.
