<div class="heading">We have got practical experience how the so-called Vedāntists go to foreign countries and mislead them, and they learn how to eat meat and wine. This is their Vedānta knowledge. So Caitanya Mahāprabhu knew it very well that all the rascals, they will call them vedānti and do all nonsense. So don't become falsely a vedānti. Real vedānti means vedaiś ca sarvair aham eva vedyam (BG 15.15). If you simply know Kṛṣṇa and surrender unto Him, then you become a vedanti, real vedanti. Vedaiś ca sarvair aham eva vedyaḥ (BG 15.15).

The idea is Caitanya Mahāprabhu was not a ''mūrkha'', fool. He is God Himself. And besides that, even in His ''līlā'', pastimes as human being, He was a great learned scholar. His name was Nimāi Paṇḍita. He was not ordinary. He's ''paṇḍita''. His education is proved when He explained ''ātmārāma śloka'' in sixty-four ways.

:''ātmārāmāś ca munayo''
:''nirgranthā apy urukrame''
:''kurvanty ahaitukīṁ bhaktim''
:''ittham-bhūta-guṇo hariḥ''
:([[Vanisource:SB 1.7.10|SB 1.7.10]])

This one verse He explained in sixty-four ways. Just see His learning. Not only that, when He was sixteen years old only, there was a great ''paṇḍita'' came to Navadvīpa. His name was Keśava Kāśmīrī. He conquered over all parts of the country . . . India at least, because there was no possibility to go outside India. But He defeated him in one ''śloka'' when He was a boy. So He was not a fool, rascal. That is not the fact. But He represented Himself as a fool because we are fools. In this age we are all fools and rascals. What we shall read ''Vedānta'' and understand ''Vedānta''? We have got practical experience how the so-called ''Vedāntists'' go to foreign countries and mislead them, and they learn how to eat meat and wine. This is their ''Vedānta'' knowledge. So Caitanya Mahāprabhu knew it very well that all the rascals, they will call them ''vedānti'' and do all nonsense. So don't become falsely a ''vedānti''. Real ''vedānti'' means ''vedaiś ca sarvair aham eva vedyam'' ([[Vanisource:BG 15.15 (1972)|BG 15.15]]). If you simply know Kṛṣṇa and surrender unto Him, then you become a ''vedanti'', real ''vedanti''. ''Vedaiś ca sarvair aham eva vedyaḥ'' ([[Vanisource:BG 15.15 (1972)|BG 15.15]]).

So always keep . . . This kind of duty was entrusted by Caitanya Mahāprabhu to the Indians.

:''bhārata-bhūmite manuṣya janma haila yāra''
:''janma sārthaka kari kara para-upakāra''
:([[Vanisource:CC Adi 9.41|CC Adi 9.41]])

This is Caitanya Mahāprabhu's mission, that every Indian should learn what is this Kṛṣṇa consciousness and preach it all over the world. That is His order. But our Indians are not taking care of it. Therefore it doesn't matter, Indian or European or American, who will carry the order of Caitanya Mahāprabhu, he will be benefited, he will be glorified. So don't be hesitating, because the soul is neither Indian or American. ''Ahaṁ brahmāsmi''. Every one of us, we are part and parcel of Kṛṣṇa, and our position is Brahman. ''Brahma-bhūtaḥ prasannātmā'' ([[Vanisource:BG 18.54 (1972)|BG 18.54]]). So from that platform you go on preaching Kṛṣṇa consciousness. By executing the order of Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu you'll be glorified, the country will be glorified, the whole world will benefit.
