Live Caitanya Caritamrta · CC Madhya 25.81
The Supreme Lord Considers Himself a Servant
“Prakāśānanda replied, “You are the Supreme Personality of Godhead, Kṛṣṇa Himself. Nonetheless, You are considering Yourself His eternal servant.”
What the purport teaches
- Prakāśānanda recognizes Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu as the Supreme Personality of Godhead, Kṛṣṇa Himself.
- Although He is Kṛṣṇa Himself, the Lord considers Himself Kṛṣṇa’s eternal servant.
- His attitude of service does not diminish His identity as the Supreme Lord.
