Live Caitanya Caritamrta · CC Madhya 25.169
Love Offered, but No Customers
“Although I came to Vārāṇasī to sell My goods, there were no customers, and it appeared necessary for Me to carry them back to My own country.
What the purport teaches
- Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu continued describing His visit to Vārāṇasī as a journey to sell His goods.
- From His preceding words, these goods were His emotional ecstatic love. He said that there had been no customers.
- It had appeared necessary to carry His goods back to His own country, though the preceding verses describe how the people came to chant and discuss Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam.
