Read Śrīla Prabhupāda's purport on Vedabase.ioThree study points drawn from the translation and purport.
Haridāsa Ṭhākura was both the topmost devotee and a greatly learned scholar. His great fortune was to pass away before Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu.
The most important science is knowing how to escape the clutches of material existence. The truly learned understand this world’s temporary nature, know how to attain a permanent situation in the spiritual world, and recognize that the Supreme Personality of Godhead is beyond experimental knowledge.
Haridāsa Ṭhākura knew this science perfectly and is therefore called parama-vidvān, the most learned scholar. He personally preached the importance of chanting the Hare Kṛṣṇa mahā-mantra, as approved by the revealed scriptures.
