While he stayed with Śrīla Rūpa Gosvāmī, his engagement was to recite Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam for him to hear. As a result of this Bhāgavatam recitation, he attained perfectional love of Kṛṣṇa, by which he remained always maddened.
Read Śrīla Prabhupāda's purport on Vedabase.ioThree study points drawn from the translation and purport.
Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu ordered Raghunātha Bhaṭṭācārya to read Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam constantly. In Vṛndāvana, he recited it for Śrīla Rūpa Gosvāmī, rendering each verse in three melodious tunes.
Through this Bhāgavatam recitation, he attained perfectional love of Kṛṣṇa, which kept him always overwhelmed. He avoided nonsense and worldly talk, engaging instead in hearing about Kṛṣṇa twenty-four hours a day.
He never cared to hear blasphemy of a Vaiṣṇava. Even when there were grounds for criticism, he did not mind their faults because they were engaged in the Lord’s service.
