Thank you Swami is continuing to quote scripture to substantiate his immediate honouring of prasad and he is stating here the previous verse he has quoted in scripture and now he is quoting another scripture so the previous verse this verse is from Padma Purana there is no consideration of appropriate place there is no rule regarding place nor is there any rule regarding time as soon as one gets the food as soon as one gets the food one should take it this is the order of Lord Hari now Sarovam has continued to exhibit extraordinary faith and that faith will be immensely pleasing to Lord Chaitanya Mahaprabhu as we will see in future verses प्रेमा विश्ट हईया प्रभू कैला अलिगान देखी अनन्यित अलिगान seeing this Chaitanya Mahaprabhu became jubilant his mind became Mahaprabhu Ramani his mind became filled with joy became jubilant प्रेमा विश्ट हईया प्रभू कैला अलिगान प्रेमा विश्ट soil is law and he embraced Sarvabhama so Chitra Mahaprabhu was so delighted to see how much Sarvabhama has gained faith in the principle of mercy.

Impersonalists have to stress a lot on the principle of purity or impurity they consider is this right or is this not right they focus a lot on whether something is appropriate or inappropriate because they want to transcend matter and they know that matter is entangling so they have to be extremely careful that they don't get themselves caught entangled with impure matter but the devotees understand that matter is also an energy of Krishna and matter can manifest Krishna so prasad is not material and the consumption of prasad actually we don't it's not appropriate to use the word consumption although bhokta we are in the Sanskrit or Bengali here which can be translated as consuming Prabhupada would taught us to use the word honoring prasad because it is Krishna who is manifesting and we are reciprocating with Krishna by honoring prasad so when we honor prasad the principle is that we are trying to we are interacting there is no interaction between matter and matter it is not that my body is interacting with a material sense object for such an interaction for such interaction to be not karmically entangling for it to be not contaminating there has to be adequate following of rules and regulations but beyond such interaction of matter with matter in the earning the earth issue the devotee sees the interaction of the soul with Krishna so it's not just impure body taking unclean prasad it's a sincere soul who wants to be devoted to Krishna accepting gratefully Krishna's mercy so the principle of transcendental reciprocation between Krishna and his devotee does not depend on material circumstances although of course devotees don't deliberately flout material circumstances they try to serve Krishna in the most responsible way and serving him in the most responsible way includes trying to offer him the best that one can it includes offering Krishna even the best offering offering our service to Krishna in the best material situations but as far as the reciprocation is concerned that can happen in any and every situation and a devotee recognizes this and by recognizing this the devotee focuses primarily on how Krishna is manifesting in every situation and that Krishna who is manifesting is giving an opportunity for the devotee to learn to love to receive his mercy so the devotee gratefully receives Krishna's mercy and relishes that mercy so Ananditama Chaitanya Mahaprabhu became happy Jubilant to see how much Sarovar has learned to see beyond the purity and impurity of matter to the potency transcendental potency of mercy and it was that spiritual growth in Sarovar in terms of his faith in Bhakti in the principle of Krupa which is central to Bhakti that he had developed so much faith seeing this Chaitanya Mahaprabhu was delighted Dui jane dhari duhe kare na nartan Prabhu bhutya duha sparshe duha ra phule maan Dui jane dhari so both of them embracing each other they started dancing kare na nartan and Prabhu bhutya duha sparshe duha ra phule maan Prabhu bhutya the master and the servant as they touched each other as they hugged each other they both of them phule maan their minds blossomed they became ecstatic Chaitanya Mahaprabhu was pleased immensely pleased delighted to see the devotional growth of Sarovar and Sarovar was so pleased that oh the Lord is so mercifully embracing me and his heart became jubilant and as they came in touch with each other the jubilance of the hearts of each other had a symbiotic effect on them and Chaitanya Mahaprabhu's ecstasy increased Sarovar's ecstasy and Sarovar's ecstasy increased Chaitanya Mahaprabhu's ecstasy and thus both of them were flooded with ecstasy thank you.
