Live Caitanya Caritamrta · CC Madhya 6.25

Distinguish a Guess from Certainty

“From the talk of the people in general, we have guessed that the Lord is now at the house of Sārvabhauma Bhaṭṭācārya.

Śrīla Prabhupāda · Śrī Caitanya Caritamrta Madhya 6.25, translation

What the purport teaches

  • The speakers had heard people talking about the Lord's whereabouts.
  • From this talk, they guessed that He was at the house of Sārvabhauma Bhaṭṭācārya.
  • They described their conclusion as a guess, not as something they had seen themselves.

Try this today

Today, when sharing uncertain information, clearly say that it is something you have heard rather than confirmed.

Ask yourself

When I pass on something I have heard, do I make clear what is still uncertain?

Carry the question through the day, then answer it in your own words before sleep.

The study points are short summaries drawn from Śrīla Prabhupāda's translation and purport; the practice and question are plain words for trying the verse today.
