Live Caitanya Caritamrta · CC Madhya 25.74
Let Conduct Help Others Understand
“My dear sir, for you everyone is on the level of impersonal Brahman, but for the enlightenment of people in general you should not behave in that way.”
What the purport teaches
- Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu says that Prakāśānanda Sarasvatī sees everyone on the level of impersonal Brahman.
- Yet He asks him not to behave on that basis when offering worship.
- The reason He gives is the enlightenment of people in general. One's conduct should help others understand rather than confuse them.
