Thank you So Chaitanya Charitamrita 5.153 You have brought me to Nilachala And all of you have brought me here And you have done great benefit to me You have actually Done very good for me And all my wealth was In the danda Sanyasi has no possessions Except the possession of the staff But unfortunately He has not kept it Chaitanya Mahaprabhu is expressing the grief of his heart Chaitanya Mahaprabhu He did not want to punish But at the same time he wanted to Express his displeasure You all of you go ahead To behold the lord you go ahead Otherwise I will go ahead I don't want to go with you Chaitanya Mahaprabhu is expressing A small level of displeasure And he is giving a small level of punishment He says that You know I don't want to go with you So sometimes when we are angry with someone We may say that I don't want to talk with you I don't want to go with you Chaitanya Mahaprabhu is angry in that sense Of course all this is transcendental But even in the transcendental realm The reciprocations and relationships And emotions are multi-faceted And to some extent It will be wonderful It is wonderful It is wonderful for us to get a glimpse Of those transcendental emotions By getting an inkling of them In our terms So Mukundatta Who was one of the associates Of Kampan Chaitanya Mahaprabhu He spoke Prabhu My dear lord You go ahead All of us Will come behind you We will not go with you As Chaitanya Mahaprabhu Decided Mukundatta complies Now it is interesting that Chaitanya Mahaprabhu is the person Who has committed the offence But Chaitanya Mahaprabhu addresses all of them Not Chaitanya Mahaprabhu specifically And Tantru also does not respond To lord Chaitanya, it is Mukundatta who responds So Chaitanya Mahaprabhu Does not want to express anger directly to Tantru And Tantru also does not do anything to Aggravate the anger of Chaitanya Mahaprabhu So On hearing this Chaitanya Mahaprabhu Started going very fast His heart's desire Was propelling him onwards And he was charging towards The temple of Jagannath When he was with his associates Because of some awareness And for their convenience For not causing inconvenience He was going a little slower But now he is charged ahead Filled with Excited And desperate Anticipation to Behold the lord Now Here So Chaitanya Mahaprabhu is going ahead Now in the same text Krishnaswami gives us A little bit of A little bit of didactic He gives a little instruction He says that actually no one can understand The purpose of the two lords So why Nityanandabhru acted in a particular way And why Lord Chaitanya Proposed to Act in a particular way These we can't understand So what is it that cannot be understood So why Nityanandabhru broke the danda And now Chaitanya Mahaprabhu had not wanted him to do it Chaitanya Mahaprabhu could have kept the danda with himself There is nothing wrong in taking the danda With him to the temple Why did he allow him to break it And then And now the very fact that Nityanandabhru was able to do it Indicates that Nityanandabhru allowed him Allowed Nityanandabhru to do it Nityanandabhru allowed Nityanandabhru to do it Chaitanya Mahaprabhu allowed Nityanandabhru to do it Then why was he angry with him Why was he angry with him So all these questions were Not very easy to answer So dandabhangalila This pastime of Nityanand Of the breaking of the danda Is param gambheer It is actually very deep The import of this pastime Its very deep Sai bhujhe Who can understand it Duhara pada yandra bhakti dheer Duhara pada Only one who has Under the feet of the two lords Bhakti dheer, strong devotion, fixed sober devotion Dheer and gambheer Are of similar import Gambheer is grey or sober Dheer is also grey or sober So Its the pastime Which is very deep And sometimes if we are restless Then we can't see deep things We can't understand deep things But if we are ourselves sober Then we can understand deep things So now here he is talking about The devotion has to be deep so that The deep pastime can be understood Glorious That lord is glorious And his glory is amazing Who? His Brahmanya dev Nithyananda Vakthayar Nithyananda Shrotashree Chaitanya So this pastime is glorious And this pastime was spoken by Nithyananda And heard by Shaitanya Mahaprabhu Shraddha Yukta Haya Ehe Shuneye Jan Achire Milai Tare Gopala Charan Shraddha Yukta Haya So with faith If anyone hears this pastime Shuneye Jan Those people who hear this pastime Achire Milai Tare Achire is not very long time Soon Milai Tare Gopala Charan Soon Milai Tare Gopala Charan They will attain the lotus feet of Gopal Actually To the extent we become attracted to the lord To that extent we can attain him And becoming attracted to him requires That we Become That we Understand how lovable he is How merciful he is How Supremely Worthy of our love he is And Through pastimes like this we understand that And we understand that naturally Our heart becomes attracted towards him And we offer ourselves to him and then Once we offer ourselves to him Then surely in due course of time We will attain him Attain that lord So that is the falashruti Of this particular pastime That falashruti is that by hearing This pastime In the mood of devotion And feeling inspired To follow in that mood of devotion in our small Capacity we can all attain One day the Transcendental abode of the lord And we can attain the lotus feet of the lord Then Chaitanya charitamrita kahe Krishnadas Shiroopa Raghunatha pade So he concludes the chapter With the standard Ending note and says Shiroopa Raghunatha pade Yaar aash So with my desire fixed At the lotus feet of Shiroopa and Raghunatha Chaitanya charitamrita Kahe Krishnadas Krishnadas by Rajyoswami Speaks to Chaitanya charitamrita In this way the Sakshi Gopal pastime Ends demonstrating The extraordinary mercy of Gopal And inspiring us to Become devoted to such a beautiful lord In the next chapter One of the most Momentous Consequential pastimes In the life of Chaitanya Mahaprabhu Is transformation of Sarvamattacharya And we will discuss that.
