Live Caitanya Caritamrta · CC Madhya 6.58
Be a Well-Wisher Through Teaching and Hospitality
“Because you are a teacher of Vedānta philosophy, you are the master of all the people in the world and their well-wisher as well. You are also the benefactor of all kinds of sannyāsīs.
What the purport teaches
- Caitanya Mahāprabhu honors the teacher of Vedānta philosophy as a master and well-wisher of all people.
- Māyāvādī sannyāsīs who teach Vedānta are customarily called jagad-guru. This title indicates that they are benefactors of all people.
- Although Sārvabhauma Bhaṭṭācārya was a householder, he invited all the sannyāsīs to his home and offered them prasādam. He was therefore accepted as their best well-wisher and friend.
