Thinking in this way, He accepted the duty of a planter and began to grow a garden in Navadvīpa
CC Adi 9.7, Translation: Lord Caitanya thought, “My name is Viśvambhara, ‘one who maintains the entire universe.’ Its meaning will be actualized if I can fill the whole universe with love of Godhead.”
CC Adi 9.8, Translation: Thinking in this way, He accepted the duty of a planter and began to grow a garden in Navadvīpa.
CC Adi 9.9, Translation and Purport: Thus the Lord brought the desire tree of devotional service to this earth and became its gardener. He sowed the seed and sprinkled upon it the water of His will.
In many places devotional service has been compared to a creeper. One has to sow the seed of the devotional creeper, bhakti-latā, within his heart. As he regularly hears and chants, the seed will fructify and gradually grow into a mature plant and then produce the fruit of devotional service, namely love of Godhead, which the gardener (mālā-kāra) can then enjoy without impediments.
