Sri Caitanya-caritamrta

CC Adi-lila

CC Adi 2.2, Purport: Water is the substance most needed in the desert. The transient pleasure derived from mundane topics of art, culture, politics, sociology, dry philosophy, poetry and so on is compared to a mere drop of water because although such topics have a qualitative feature of transcendental pleasure, they are saturated with the modes of material nature. Therefore neither collectively nor individually can they satisfy the vast requirements of the desertlike tongue. Despite crying in various conferences, therefore, the desertlike tongue continues to be parched.

CC Adi 2.62, Translation: In this way their arguments appear in various forms, but the poetry of the Bhāgavatam expertly refutes them all.
