Sri Caitanya-caritamrta Lectures

Caitanya Mahāprabhu, although He was in the renounced order of life, sannyāsī, still, He was avoiding the company of the Māyāvādī, who are impersonalists. Caitanya Mahāprabhu is personalist. So generally, that is the system still. The impersonalist, as soon as they see some personalist, they begin to attack by arguments. So those who are not very highly developed, they avoid. But those who are conversant, they argue, so on.

The brahmin came and fell down on the feet of Caitanya Mahāprabhu and requested Him that, "I have come to beg one thing from You. Please be kind to agree to this."

sakala sannyāsī muñi kainu nimantraṇa
tumi yadi āisa, pūrṇa haya mora mana
(CC Adi 7.54)

Caitanya Mahāprabhu, although He was in the renounced order of life, sannyāsī, still, He was avoiding the company of the Māyāvādī, who are impersonalists. Caitanya Mahāprabhu is personalist. So generally, that is the system still. The impersonalist, as soon as they see some personalist, they begin to attack by arguments. So those who are not very highly developed, they avoid. But those who are conversant, they argue, so on.

So Caitanya Mahāprabhu, while He was staying at Benares, He was not very enthusiastic to mix with this Māyāvādī class of sannyāsīs. Therefore this man who invited all the sannyāsīs for a dinner, he also came to Caitanya Mahāprabhu and asked Him that, "I know that You do not associate Yourself with the Māyāvādī sannyāsīs. Still, I have come to invite You. Please accept my request."

nā yāha sannyāsī-goṣṭhī ihā āmijāni
more anugraha kara nimantraṇa māni'
(CC Adi 7.55)

"I know that You avoid the association. Still, I am requesting You. If You kindly accept this request." Prabhu hāsi' nimantraṇa kaila aṅgīkāra (CC Adi 7.56). Now there are two incidences. One incidences . . . one incidence is that His two devotees were very sorry, because the other party was criticizing Him. And the meantime, another brahmin came to invite Him. So it was coincidence. Caitanya Mahāprabhu thought that this is an opportunity to meet the Māyāvādī sannyāsīs and to talk with him . . . to talk with them, how they criticized the personalist.
