Śrī Caitanya Caritamrta · Text Ādi 10.51
চিকিৎসা করেন যারে হইয়া সদয় ।
দেহরোগ ভবরোগ,—দুই তার ক্ষয় ॥ ৫১ ॥
cikitsā karena yāre ha-iyā sadaya
deha-roga bhāva-roga, — dui tāra kṣaya
As Murāri Gupta treated his patients, by his mercy both their bodily and spiritual diseases subsided.
Read Śrīla Prabhupāda's purport on Vedabase.ioThree study points drawn from the translation and purport.
Murāri Gupta treated bodily disease as a physician and spiritual disease as a great devotee. The purport presents this as an example of service to humanity.
The living entity is eternal, but contact with material energy subjects him to repeated birth, death, old age and disease. The purport identifies this spiritual condition as the main disease.
The Kṛṣṇa consciousness movement offers chanting the holy name, or the Hare Kṛṣṇa mahā-mantra, as medicine and prasādam as the proper diet. Its centers serve as hospitals for this spiritual disease.
Śrīla Prabhupāda's own sentences, chosen from the purport as its central points. Read the full purport on Vedabase to see them in place.
Belonging and gratitude. Many devotees become branches of one living network of devotion.
