- In answer to this question (of Sarvabhauma Bhattacarya in CC Madhya 10.136), Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu replied - An empowered spiritual master like Isvara Puri can bestow his mercy upon anyone, irrespective of caste or creed
- In answer to this question (of Sarvabhauma Bhattacarya in CC Madhya 10.136), Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu replied that His spiritual master, Isvara Puri, was not a servant of any mundane rule or regulation
- It is the duty of a disciple approaching a spiritual master to inquire about his constitutional position. In conformity to that spiritual process, Sanatana has already asked, "What am I, and why am I suffering from the threefold miseries?"
S
- Sanatana further inquired Lord Caitanya, "I do not know how to question You about the advancement of spiritual life, but I beg that You kindly, mercifully, let me know everything that I need know"
- Sanatana further inquired, "Who am I? Why are the threefold miseries always giving me trouble? And finally, tell me how I can be relieved from this material entanglement?"
- Sanatana Gosvami approached Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu, asking Him the question, - What I am? Why I am put into these threefold miserable condition of life
- Sanatana Gosvami put this question before Caitanya: "My dear Lord Caitanya Mahaprabhu, these common men, they say that I am very learned scholar. But I am so big scholar that I do not know what I am and what is my aim of life." Just see
- Sanatana's inquiry was therefore an intelligent one. "What is the position of the living entities?" he asked. "Why are they always undergoing these three kinds of miseries?" Sanatana had admitted his weakness
- Such denunciations (of Radharani for Krsna) reflect an exuberant loving attitude that an ordinary man cannot understand. When the foolish student questioned Lord Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu, Lord Caitanya similarly rebuked Lord Krsna in loving exuberance
T
- The chanting of the holy name of Krsna or the holy name gopi is on the transcendental platform of loving affairs. Since he (Lord Caitanya's student) was not expert in understanding transcendental activities, his question (to Him) was merely impudent
- The fifth answer (of Ramananda Raya to the questions of Sri Caitanya) is compared to the most valuable gem, touchstone, because it deals with unalloyed devotion, the ultimate goal of devotional life, and illuminates the preceding four subordinate answers
- The first question was put before Lord Caitanya, - My dear master, I have come to You to ask the first question, that - What I am? Why I am conditioned to suffer three kinds of miserable condition of life always
- The following year, the inhabitants of Kulina-grama again asked the Lord the same question. Hearing this question, Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu again taught them about the different types of Vaisnavas
- This is real question: "What I am?" So Sanatana Gosvami's question is being answered by Caitanya Mahaprabhu, "Because you have this inquiry, this is the beginning of human life." If one is little inquisitive to know what I am, then his real life begins
- This question was asked to Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu by a devotee. He was householder. So he inquired, My dear Sir, what is the real standard of behavior of a devotee
W
- We can understand that liberation is not the final word in perfection. There must be activities in liberation. Sanatana clearly says, "You (Lord Caitanya) have saved me from the material existence. Now, after liberation, what is my duty?"
- When Sanatana Gosvami submitted to the lotus feet of Sri Caitanya, his first question was 'ke ami', 'kene amaya jare tapa-traya'. He wanted to know his constitutional position and why he was suffering from the threefold miseries of material existence
