Live Caitanya Caritamrta · CC Madhya 6.109
Accept the Lord’s Words as They Are
“ ‘In almost all cases, whatever learned brāhmaṇas speak becomes accepted; nothing is impossible for one who takes shelter of My illusory energy and speaks under her influence.’”
What the purport teaches
- The Supreme Lord’s illusory energy is so powerful that it can perform the impossible. Statements by learned brāhmaṇas are accepted in almost all cases.
- Philosophical speculators can cover the real truth with false theories backed by seemingly logical arguments. Illusion sometimes appears correct because it comes from the Supreme Correct.
- To escape this bewildering influence, one must accept the words of the Supreme Personality of Godhead as they are.
