Śrī Caitanya Caritamrta · Text Ādi 7.67
সাম্প্রদায়িক সন্ন্যাসী তুমি, রহ এই গ্রামে ।
কি কারণে আমা–সবার না কর দর্শনে ॥ ৬৭ ॥
sāmpradāyika sannyāsī tumi, raha ei grāme
ki kāraṇe āmā-sabāra nā kara darśane
“You belong to our Śaṅkara-sampradāya and live in our village, Vārāṇasī. Why then do You not associate with us? Why is it that You avoid even seeing us?
Read Śrīla Prabhupāda's purport on Vedabase.ioThree study points drawn from the translation and purport.
An advancing Vaiṣṇava distinguishes the Supreme Personality of Godhead, the devotees, the innocent and the jealous. He behaves differently toward each.
He increases his love for Godhead, befriends devotees and teaches Kṛṣṇa consciousness to the innocent. He avoids those who are envious of the Kṛṣṇa consciousness movement.
Caitanya Mahāprabhu exemplified this discernment in association. A preacher generally avoids wasting time with Māyāvādī sannyāsīs, but must answer philosophical arguments based on śāstra.
