The Bhakta in the Age of Discord
But certainly the worst criminal is a saint compared with the
person who talks about God and preaches religion though he does not know
himself what he is himself, what is God and the nature of the world, like
Christian missionaries in India.
Doctrines of Sri Chaitanya
But the biographies themselves are also unintelligible unless one hears their exposition from the lips of the pure devotees of Godhead. The Bhagabatam or its exposition can be understood by no other method. Sri Chaitanya does not replace but only fulfils the Shastras.
