Śrī Caitanya Caritamrta · Text Ādi 7.51
তোমারে নিন্দয়ে যত সন্ন্যাসীর গণ ।
শুনিতে না পারি, ফাটে হৃদয়–শ্রবণ ॥ ৫১ ॥
tomāre nindaye yata sannyāsīra gaṇa
śunite nā pāri, phāṭe hṛdaya-śravaṇa
“The Māyāvādī sannyāsīs are all criticizing Your Holiness. We cannot tolerate hearing such criticism, for this blasphemy breaks our hearts.”
Read Śrīla Prabhupāda's purport on Vedabase.ioThree study points drawn from the translation and purport.
The devotees’ heartbreak at criticism of the Lord manifested real love for Kṛṣṇa and Lord Caitanya Mahāprabhu. A kaniṣṭha-adhikārī has firm faith but is not familiar with scriptural conclusions.
A madhyama-adhikārī knows the scriptural conclusions, has firm faith in his guru and the Lord, avoids nondevotees, and preaches to the innocent. An uttama-adhikārī regards everyone as a Vaiṣṇava except himself, but takes the second-stage position when preaching.
A preacher should not tolerate blasphemy against another Vaiṣṇava and should be able to answer with scriptural evidence. Tapana Miśra and Candraśekhara could not refute the critics, so they appealed to the Lord.
