Live Caitanya Caritamrta · CC Madhya 6.132
Do Not Cover the Personal Absolute Truth
“You do not explain the direct meaning of the Brahma-sūtras. Indeed, it appears that your business is to cover their real meaning.”
What the purport teaches
- Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu said that the explanations covered the real meaning of the Brahma-sūtras instead of explaining it directly.
- The purport says that Māyāvādī interpretations impose an impersonalist conclusion on Vedic literature. It emphasizes that the Bhagavad-gītā clearly presents Kṛṣṇa as the Supreme Personality of Godhead.
- Imaginary meanings require word jugglery and grammatical interpretation. Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu therefore warned against hearing Māyāvādī commentaries on Vedic literature.
