there okay thank you okay so why did Nityanand Prabhu say to Shivanand saying that your son will actually Nityanand Prabhu personifies a particular kind of mood in Lord Chaitanya’s relationship in Chord Chaitanya’s past tense and that is the mood of a of a Avdhoot Avdhoot means he is called an Avdhootaraya you know that he is the he is beyond all rules and regulations and often he behaves in extraordinary ways but whatever way he behaves that is actually meant to enhance the mood of devotion so at one level just like we could say what why does why do particular things happen in Chaitanya Mahaprabhu’s past tense and when Chaitanya Mahaprabhu was performing a past time at that time Srivasa Thakur’s son dies now Chaitanya Mahaprabhu would have avoided that of Shivanand Singh’s son or not of Shivanand Singh of Srivasa Thakur’s son but Chaitanya Mahaprabhu let that Srivasa Thakur’s son die so that then when when Srivasa Thakur’s wife and other ladies in the house are crying Srivasa Thakur actually goes and says don’t cry don’t disturb the Kirtan of Chaitanya Mahaprabhu so now that demonstrates his extraordinary devotional service attitude that even when there is such a great calamity in his life still he is focused not on expressing his own grief but on still on serving the Lord Chaitanya so just as Lord Chaitanya allows that thing to happen and thereby he demonstrates the glory of the devotion of Srivasa Thakur similarly in this case Nithyananda Prabhu by acting in such a short-tempered seeming way externally it seems you know he’s just a very short-tempered person who is who is just giving curses but actually Nithyananda Prabhu is not really angry with him and Nithyananda Prabhu does this in a show of anger so that Shivanand Singh’s glory is established before the world and even when such a strong chastisement is given to Shivanand Singh still Shivanand Singh continues to serve and that way Nithyananda Prabhu by his apparent short-temperedness brings about the glory and the committedness of the devotion of Shivanand Singh so Nithyananda Prabhu does like this basically to glorify Shivanand Singh okay so if a plant is giving poisonous
