Antya 9-1975: The Deliverance of Gopinatha Pattanayaka

Chapter 9

The Deliverance of Gopinatha Pattanayaka

This Ninth Chapter is summarized as follows. Gopinatha Pattanayaka, the

son of Bhavananda Raya, was engaged in the service of the government,

but he misappropriated some funds from the treasury. Therefore the bada-

jana, the eldest son of King Prataparudra, ordered that he be punished

by death. Thus Gopinatha Pattanayaka was raised on the canga to be

killed, but by the mercy of Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu he was delivered.

Moreover, he was even promoted to a higher post.

PURPORT

According to the opinion of some historians, Prahlada Maharaja was born

in Treta-yuga in the city of Mulatana in the state of Punjab. He was

born of Hiranyakasipu, a king of the dynasty of Kasyapa. Prahlada

Maharaja was a great devotee of Lord Visnu, but his father was very much

against Visnu. Because the father and son thus differed in their

consciousness, the demon father inflicted all kinds of bodily pain upon

Prahlada. When this torture became intolerable, the Supreme Lord

appeared as Nrsimhadeva and killed the great demon Hiranyakasipu.

Bali Maharaja was the grandson of Prahlada Maharaja. The son of Prahlada

Maharaja was Virocana, and his son was known as Bali. Appearing as

Vamana and begging Bali Maharaja for three feet of land, the Lord took

possession of the entire three worlds. Thus Bali Maharaja became a great

devotee of Lord Vamana. Bali Maharaja had one hundred sons, of whom

Maharaja Bana was the eldest and most famous.

Vyasadeva was the son of the great sage Parasara. Other names for him

are Satyavateya and Krsna-dvaipayana Badarayana Muni. As one of the

authorities on the Vedas, he divided the original Veda, for convenience,

into four divisions -- Sama, Yajur, Rg and Atharva. He is the author of

eighteen Puranas as well as the theosophical thesis Brahma-sutra and its

natural commentary, Srimad-Bhagavatam. He belongs to the Brahma-

sampradaya and is a direct disciple of Narada Muni.

Sukadeva Gosvami is the son of Vyasadeva. He was a brahmacari fully

conscious of Brahman realization, but later he became a great devotee of

Lord Krsna. He narrated Srimad-Bhagavatam to Maharaja Pariksit.

TRANSLATION

"Jagannatha has saved him once from death today, but if tomorrow he

again does not pay what he owes the treasury, who will give him

protection?

PURPORT

The Supreme Personality of Godhead will certainly protect a devotee who

does something sinful accidentally. As the Lord says in Bhagavad-

gita (9.30-31):

api cet suduracaro

bhajate mam ananya-bhak

sadhur eva sa mantavyah

samyag vyavasito hi sah

ksipram bhavati dharmatma

sasvac-chantim nigacchati

kaunteya pratijanihi

na me bhaktah pranasyati

"Even if one commits the most abominable actions, if he is engaged in

devotional service, he is to be considered saintly because he is

properly situated. He quickly becomes righteous and

attains lasting peace. O son of Kunti, declare it boldly that My devotee

never perishes." However, if a devotee or so-called devotee purposefully

commits sinful activities continually in the hope that Krsna will give

him protection, Krsna will not protect him. Therefore Sri Caitanya

Mahaprabhu said, kali ke rakhibe, yadi na dibe raja-dhana?: "Jagannatha

has saved Gopinatha Pattanayaka from being killed by the King today, but

if he commits the same offense again, who will give him protection?" Sri

Caitanya Mahaprabhu thus warns all such foolish devotees that Jagannatha

will not protect them if they continue to commit offenses.

sannyasi virakta tomara ka-sane sambandha?

SYNONYMS

sannyasi -- a sannyasi; virakta -- one who has given up all connections

with everyone; tomara -- Your; ka-sane -- with whom; sambandha --

relationship; vyavahara lagi' -- for some material purpose; toma bhaje --

TRANSLATION

"You are a renounced sannyasi. What connections do You have? One who

worships You for some material purpose is blind to all knowledge."

PURPORT

Becoming a devotee of the Lord to serve material purposes is a great

mistake. Many people become showbottle devotees for material profits.

Indeed materialistic persons sometimes take to professional devotional

service and keep Visnu, the Supreme Personality of Godhead, as a means

of livelihood. None of this, however, is approved. In the book known as

Sapta-sati, as mentioned by Srila Bhaktisiddhanta Sarasvati Thakura, one

can discover how a person worshiping the goddess Durga begs her for

different varieties of material profit. Such activities are very popular

among people in general, but they are the attempts of foolish, blind

people (sei jnana-andha).

A materialist does not actually know why one should become a devotee. A

devotee's only concern is to satisfy the Supreme Personality of Godhead.

Pure devotional service is defined by Srila Rupa Gosvami:

anyabhilasita-sunyam

jnana-karmady-anavrtam

anukulyena krsnanu-

silanam bhaktir uttama

One should be completely free from all material desires and should serve

Krsna simply to please Him. When people become interested in their own

sense gratification (bhukti mukti siddhi kami), some of them desire to

enjoy the material world to the fullest extent, some of them desire to

be liberated and merge into the existence of Brahman, and others want to

perform magic through mystic power and thus become incarnations of God.

These are all against the principles of devotional service. One must be

free from all material desires. The desire of the impersonalist to merge

into the existence of Brahman is also material because such an

impersonalist wants to gratify his senses by merging into the existence

of Krsna instead of serving His lotus feet. Even if such a person merges

into the Brahman effulgence, he falls down again into material existence.

As stated in Srimad-Bhagavatam (10.2.32):

aruhya krcchrena param padam tatah

patanty adho 'nadrta-yusmad-anghrayah

Because Mayavadi philosophers have no information regarding the

transcendental service of the Lord, even after attaining liberation from

material activities and merging in the Brahman effulgence, they must

come down again to this material world.

tomara bhajana-phale tomate 'prema-dhana'

SYNONYMS

tomara -- Your; bhajana -- devotional service; phale -- by the result of;

tomate -- unto You; prema-dhana -- wealth of love; visaya lagi' -- for

material profit; tomaya bhaje -- one engages in Your service; sei -- he;

murkha jana -- a fool.

TRANSLATION

Kasi Misra continued, "If one engages in devotional service for Your

satisfaction, this will result in his increasingly awakening his dormant

love for You. But if one engages in Your devotional service for material

purposes, he should be considered a number-one fool.

PURPORT

Srila Bhaktisiddhanta Sarasvati Thakura comments that there are many

materialistic persons who become preachers, gurus, religionists or

philosophers only for the sake of maintaining a high standard of living

and sense gratification for themselves and their families. Sometimes

they adopt the dress of a sannyasi or preacher. They train some of their

family members as lawyers and continually seek help from a high court to

acquire riches on the plea of maintaining temples. Although such persons

may call themselves preachers, live in Vrndavana or Navadvipa, and also

print many religious books, it is all for the same purpose, namely to

earn a living to maintain their wives and children. They may also

professionally recite the Bhagavatam or other scriptures, worship the

Deity in the temple and initiate disciples. Making a show of devotional

paraphernalia, they may also collect money from the public and use it to

cure the disease of some family member or near relative. Sometimes they

become babajis or collect money on the plea of worshiping the poor, whom

they call daridra-narayana, or for social and political upliftment. Thus

they spread a network of business schemes to collect money for sense

gratification by cheating people in general who have no knowledge of

pure devotional service. Such cheaters cannot understand that by

offering devotional service to the Supreme Personality of Godhead, one

can be elevated to a position of eternal servitude to the Lord, which is

even greater than the position of Brahma and other demigods.

Unfortunately, fools have no understanding of the perpetual pleasure of

devotional service.

ei -- this; mukhya-phala -- chief result; phala-abhasa -- a glimpse of

TRANSLATION

"However, my Lord, these are not the principal results of meditating

upon Your lotus feet. Material opulence is very flickering. Therefore it

is simply a glimpse of the result of Your mercy.

PURPORT

One can achieve the highest perfection of life simply by meditating upon

the lotus feet of Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu. Generally people are

concerned with the four religious principles, namely religion, material

opulence, sense gratification and liberation. However, as indicated in

Srimad-Bhagavatam (dharmah projjhita-kaitavo 'tra), success

in these four kinds of material and spiritual gain are not the true

results of devotional service. The true result of devotional service is

the actual development of one's dormant love for Krsna in every

circumstance. By the mercy of Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu, Gopinatha

Pattanayaka could understand that the material benefits he had achieved

were not the ultimate result of meditating upon His lotus feet. The true

result comes when one is detached from material opulences. Therefore

Gopinatha Pattanayaka prayed to the Lord for such detachment.

Antya 9.141

TEXT 141

TEXT

maha-visaya kara, kiba virakta udasa

janme-janme tumi panca -- mora 'nija-dasa'

SYNONYMS

maha-visaya -- great material engagements; kara -- you perform; kiba --

or; virakta -- renounced; udasa -- free from attachment; janme-janme --

birth after birth; tumi panca -- you five; mora -- My; nija-dasa -- own

servants.

TRANSLATION

"Whether you are involved in material activities or become completely

renounced, you five brothers are all My eternal servants, birth after

birth.

PURPORT

Srila Bhaktisiddhanta Sarasvati Thakura comments that one should

remember that he is eternally a servant of Krsna. Whether one is engaged

in material activity involving pounds, shillings and pence or is in the

renounced order, he should always think that he is an eternal servant of

God, for that is the real position of the living being. Taking

sannyasa and dealing in pounds, shillings and pence are both external

affairs. One should always consider how to please and

satisfy Krsna. Thus even if one is involved in great material affairs,

he will not become attached. As soon as one forgets that he is an

eternal servant of Krsna, he becomes involved in material attachments.

However, if one is always conscious that Krsna is always the supreme

master and that he is an eternal servant of Krsna, he is a liberated

person in any condition. Entangling material activities will not affect

him.

any; rajara mula-dhana -- capital of the King.

TRANSLATION

"However, just obey one order from Me. Do not spend any of the King's

revenue.

PURPORT

When a person forgets his position as an eternal servant of Krsna, he

commits many sinful activities, but one who maintains his position as an

eternal servant of Krsna cannot deviate from the path of morality,

religion and ethics. At the present, people all over the world,

especially in India, have forgotten their relationship with the Supreme

Personality of Godhead and His eternal servants. Therefore the

principles of morality, religion and ethics have almost disappeared.

This situation is most unprofitable for human society. Therefore

everyone should try to accept Krsna consciousness and follow the

principles of Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu.

revealed.

TRANSLATION

Thus the mercy of Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu was spoken of in the family of

Bhavananda Raya. That mercy was clearly demonstrated, although it

appeared to be something different.

PURPORT

The result of advancement in spiritual knowledge is not material

improvement, but Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu advised Gopinatha Pattanayaka

how to use material opulence without incurring reactions to sinful life.

From this advice, it appeared that the Lord encouraged Gopinatha

Pattanayaka to enhance his material condition. Actually, however, He did

not. In fact, this was but a manifestation of His great affection for

His devotee.

Bhavananda Raya, everyone was struck with wonder. They could not

Antya 9.148

TEXT 148

TEXT

tara sabe yadi krpa karite sadhila

'ama' haite kichu nahe -- prabhu tabe kahila

SYNONYMS

tara -- they; sabe -- all; yadi -- when; krpa karite -- to show mercy;

sadhila -- requested; ama haite kichu nahe -- I cannot do anything;

prabhu -- Lord Caitanya; tabe -- then; kahila -- replied.

TRANSLATION

Indeed, when all the devotees had requested the Lord to bestow His mercy

upon Gopinatha Pattanayaka, the Lord had replied that He could do

nothing.

PURPORT

When a person is sinful, he loses both the chance for spiritual

advancement and the chance for material opulence. If one enjoys the

material world for sense gratification, he is certainly doomed.

Advancement in material opulence is not the direct mercy of the Supreme

Personality of Godhead; nevertheless, it indicates the indirect mercy of

the Lord, for even a person too attached to material prosperity can

gradually be detached and raised to the spiritual platform. Then he can

offer causeless, purified service to the Lord. When Sri Caitanya said,

ama haite kichu nahe ("It is not My business to do anything"), He set

the ideal example for a person in the renounced order. If a sannyasi

takes the side of a visayi, a person engaged in material activities, his

character will be criticized. A person in the renounced order should not

take interest in material activities, but if he does so out of affection

for a particular person, that should be considered his special mercy.

Antya 9: The Deliverance of Gopinatha Pattanayaka
 
Chapter 9: 
 
The Deliverance of Gopinatha Pattanayaka
 
The Ninth Chapter is summarized as follows. Gopinatha Pattanayaka, the 
son of Bhavananda Raya, was engaged in the service of the government, 
but he misappropriated some funds from the treasury. Therefore the bada-
jana, the eldest son of King Prataparudra, ordered that he be punished 
by death. Thus Gopinatha Pattanayaka was raised on the canga to be 
killed, but by the mercy of Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu he was delivered. 
Moreover, he was even promoted to a higher post.

PURPORT
 
According to the opinion of some historians, Prahlada Maharaja was born 
in Treta-yuga in the city of Multan, in the state of Punjab. He was 
born of Hiranyakasipu, a king of the dynasty of Kasyapa. Prahlada 
Maharaja was a great devotee of Lord Visnu, but his father was very much 
against Visnu. Because the father and son thus differed in their 
consciousness, the demon father inflicted all kinds of bodily pain upon 
Prahlada. When this torture became intolerable, the Supreme Lord 
appeared as Nrsimhadeva and killed the great demon Hiranyakasipu.
 
Bali Maharaja was the grandson of Prahlada Maharaja. The son of Prahlada 
Maharaja was Virocana, and his son was known as Bali. Appearing as 
Vamana and begging Bali Maharaja for three feet of land, the Lord took 
possession of the entire three worlds. Thus Bali Maharaja became a great 
devotee of Lord Vamana. Bali Maharaja had one hundred sons, of whom 
Maharaja Bana was the eldest and most famous.
 
Vyasadeva was the son of the great sage Parasara. Other names for him 
are Satyavateya and Krsna-dvaipayana Badarayana Muni. As one of the 
authorities on the Vedas, he divided the original Veda, for convenience, 
into four divisions -- Sama, Yajur, Rg and Atharva. He is the author of 
eighteen Puranas as well as the theosophical thesis Brahma-sutra and its 
natural commentary, Srimad-Bhagavatam. He belongs to the Brahma-
sampradaya and is a direct disciple of Narada Muni.
 
Sukadeva Gosvami is the son of Vyasadeva. He was a brahmacari fully 
conscious of Brahman realization, but later he became a great devotee of 
Lord Krsna. He narrated Srimad-Bhagavatam to Maharaja Pariksit.

One day people suddenly came to Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu and informed Him,
 "Gopinatha Pattanayaka, the son of Bhavananda Raya, has been condemned 
to death by the bada-jana, the eldest son of the King, and has been 
raised on the canga.
 
PURPORT
 
The canga was a device for killing a condemned person. It consisted of a 
raised platform on which the condemned was made to stand. Underneath the 
platform, there were stationary upright swords. The condemned man would 
be pushed down onto the swords, and in this way he would die. For some 
reason, Gopinatha Pattanayaka had been condemned to death and had 
therefore been raised upon the canga.

TRANSLATION
 
"Jagannatha has saved him once from death today, but if tomorrow he 
again does not pay what he owes the treasury, who will give him

PURPORT
 
The Supreme Personality of Godhead will certainly protect a devotee who 
does something sinful accidentally. As the Lord says in the Bhagavad-
gita (9.30–31):
 
api cet su-duracaro bhajate mam ananya-bhak
sadhur eva sa mantavyah samyag vyavasito hi sah
ksipram bhavati dharmatma sasvac-chantim nigacchati
kaunteya pratijanihi na me bhaktah pranasyati
 
 
 
 
 
"Even if one commits the most abominable actions, if he is engaged in 
devotional service he is to be considered saintly because he is 
properly situated in his determination. He quickly becomes righteous and 
attains lasting peace. O son of Kunti, declare it boldly that My devotee 
never perishes." However, if a devotee or so-called devotee purposefully 
commits sinful activities continually in the hope that Krsna will give 
him protection, Krsna will not protect him. Therefore Sri Caitanya 
Mahaprabhu said, kali ke rakhibe, yadi na dibe raja-dhana?: "Jagannatha 
has saved Gopinatha Pattanayaka from being killed by the King today, but 
if he commits the same offense again, who will give him protection?" Sri 
Caitanya Mahaprabhu thus warns all such foolish devotees that Jagannatha 
will not protect them if they continue to commit offenses.

TRANSLATION
 
"You are a renounced sannyasi. What connections do You have? One who 
worships You for some material purpose is blind to all knowledge."
 
PURPORT
 
Becoming a devotee of the Lord to serve material purposes is a great 
mistake. Many people become showbottle devotees for material profits. 
Indeed, materialistic persons sometimes take to professional devotional 
service and keep Visnu, the Supreme Personality of Godhead, as a means 
of livelihood. None of this, however, is approved. In the book known as 
Sapta-sati, as mentioned by Srila Bhaktisiddhanta Sarasvati Thakura, one 
can discover how a person worshiping the goddess Durga begs her for 
different varieties of material profit. Such activities are very popular 
among people in general, but they are the attempts of foolish, blind 
people (sei jnana-andha).
 
A materialist does not actually know why one should become a devotee. A 
devotee's only concern is to satisfy the Supreme Personality of Godhead. 
Pure devotional service is defined by Srila Rupa Gosvami:
 
anyabhilasita-sunyam jnana-karmady-anavrtam
anukulyena krsnanusilanam bhaktir uttama
 [Bhakti-rasamrta-sindhu anyabhilasita-sunyam
jnana-karmady-anavrtam
anukulyena krsnanu-
silanam bhaktir uttama
 
"One should render transcendental loving service to the Supreme Lord 
Krsna favorably and without desire for material profit or gain through 
fruitive activities or philosophical speculation. That is called pure 
devotional service." Bhakti-rasamrta-sindhu 1.1.111.1.11]
 
One should be completely free from all material desires and should serve 
Krsna simply to please Him. When people become interested in their own 
sense gratification (bhukti-mukti-siddhi-kami), some of them desire to 
enjoy the material world to the fullest extent, some of them desire to 
be liberated and merge into the existence of Brahman, and others want to 
perform magic through mystic power and thus become incarnations of God. 
These are all against the principles of devotional service. One must be 
free from all material desires. The desire of the impersonalist to merge 
into the existence of Brahman is also material because such an 
impersonalist wants to gratify his senses by merging into the existence 
of Krsna instead of serving His lotus feet. Even if such a person merges 
into the Brahman effulgence, he falls down again into material existence.
 As stated in Srimad-Bhagavatam (10.2.32):
 
aruhya krcchrena param padam tatah
 patanty adho ‘nadrta-yusmad-anghrayah
 
Because Mayavadi philosophers have no information regarding the 
transcendental service of the Lord, even after attaining liberation from 
material activities and merging into the Brahman effulgence, they must 
come down again to this material world.

tomara bhajana-phale tomate ‘prema-dhana'

SYNONYMS
 
tomara -- Your; bhajana -- devotional service; phale -- by the result of;
 tomate -- unto You; prema-dhana -- wealth of love; visaya lagi' -- for 
material profit; tomaya bhaje -- one engages in Your service; sei -- he; 
murkha jana -- a fool.
 
TRANSLATION
 
Kasi Misra continued, "If one engages in devotional service for Your 
satisfaction, this will result in his increasingly awakening his dormant 
love for You. But if one engages in Your devotional service for material 
purposes, he should be considered a number-one fool.
 
PURPORT
 
Srila Bhaktisiddhanta Sarasvati Thakura comments that there are many 
materialistic persons who become preachers, gurus, religionists or 
philosophers only for the sake of maintaining a high standard of living 
and sense gratification for themselves and their families. Sometimes 
they adopt the dress of a sannyasi or preacher. They train some of their 
family members as lawyers and continually seek help from a high-court to 
acquire riches on the plea of maintaining temples. Although such persons 
may call themselves preachers, live in Vrndavana or Navadvipa, and also 
print many religious books, it is all for the same purpose, namely to 
earn a living to maintain their wives and children. They may also 
professionally recite the Bhagavatam or other scriptures, worship the 
Deity in the temple and initiate disciples. Making a show of devotional 
paraphernalia, they may also collect money from the public and use it to 
cure the disease of some family member or near relative. Sometimes they 
become babajis or collect money on the plea of worshiping the poor, whom 
they call daridra-narayana, or for social and political upliftment. Thus 
they spread a network of business schemes to collect money for sense 
gratification by cheating people in general, who have no knowledge of 
pure devotional service. Such cheaters cannot understand that by 
offering devotional service to the Supreme Personality of Godhead, one 
can be elevated to a position of eternal servitude to the Lord, which is 
even greater than the position of Brahma and other demigods. 
Unfortunately, fools have no understanding of the perpetual pleasure of 
devotional service.

"However, my Lord, these are not the principal results of meditating

is simply a glimpse of the result of Your mercy.
 
PURPORT
 
One can achieve the highest perfection of life simply by meditating upon 
the lotus feet of Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu. Generally people are 
concerned with the four religious principles, namely religion, material 
opulence, sense gratification and liberation. However, as indicated in 
Srimad-Bhagavatam (dharmah projjhita-kaitavo ‘tra [SB 1.1.2]), success 
in these four kinds of material and spiritual gain are not the true 
results of devotional service. The true result of devotional service is 
the actual development of one's dormant love for Krsna in every 
circumstance. By the mercy of Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu, Gopinatha 
Pattanayaka could understand that the material benefits he had achieved 
were not the ultimate result of meditating upon His lotus feet. The true 
result comes when one is detached from material opulences. Therefore 
Gopinatha Pattanayaka prayed to the Lord for such detachment.

TRANSLATION
 
"Whether you are involved in material activities or become completely 
renounced, you five brothers are all My eternal servants, birth after 
birth.
 
PURPORT
 
Srila Bhaktisiddhanta Sarasvati Thakura comments that one should always 
remember that he is eternally a servant of Krsna. Whether one is engaged 
in material activity involving pounds, shillings and pence or is in the 
renounced order, he should always think that he is an eternal servant of 
God, for that is the real position of the living being. Both taking 
sannyasa and dealing in pounds, shillings and pence are external 
affairs. In any condition, one should always consider how to please and 
satisfy Krsna. Thus even if one is involved in great material affairs, 
he will not become attached. As soon as one forgets that he is an 
eternal servant of Krsna, he becomes involved in material attachments. 
However, if one is always conscious that Krsna is the supreme 
master and that he is an eternal servant of Krsna, he is a liberated 
person in any condition. Entangling material activities will not affect 
him.

TRANSLATION
 
"However, just obey one order from Me. Do not spend any of the King's 
revenue.
 
PURPORT
 
When a person forgets his position as an eternal servant of Krsna, he 
commits many sinful activities, but one who maintains his position as an 
eternal servant of Krsna cannot deviate from the path of morality, 
religion and ethics. At the present, people all over the world, 
especially in India, have forgotten their relationship with the Supreme 
Personality of Godhead and His eternal servants. Therefore the 
principles of morality, religion and ethics have almost disappeared. 
This situation is most unprofitable for human society. Therefore 
everyone should try to accept Krsna consciousness and follow the 
principles of Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu.

Bhavananda Raya. That mercy was clearly demonstrated, although it 
appeared to be something different.
 
PURPORT
 
The result of advancement in spiritual knowledge is not material 
improvement, but Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu advised Gopinatha Pattanayaka 
how to use material opulence without incurring reactions to sinful life. 
From this advice, it appeared that the Lord encouraged Gopinatha 
Pattanayaka to enhance his material condition. Actually, however, He did 
not. In fact, this was but a manifestation of His great affection for 
His devotee.

sadhila -- requested; ama haite kichu nahe -- I cannot do anything; 
prabhu -- Lord Caitanya; tabe -- then; kahila -- replied.
 
TRANSLATION
 
Indeed, when all the devotees had requested the Lord to bestow His mercy 
upon Gopinatha Pattanayaka, the Lord had replied that He could do 
nothing.
 
PURPORT
 
When a person is sinful, he loses both the chance for spiritual 
advancement and the chance for material opulence. If one enjoys the 
material world for sense gratification, he is certainly doomed. 
Advancement in material opulence is not the direct mercy of the Supreme 
Personality of Godhead; nevertheless, it indicates the indirect mercy of 
the Lord, for even a person too attached to material prosperity can 
gradually be detached and raised to the spiritual platform. Then he can 
offer causeless, purified service to the Lord. When Sri Caitanya said, 
ama haite kichu nahe ("It is not My business to do anything"), He set 
the ideal example for a person in the renounced order. If a sannyasi 
takes the side of a visayi, a person engaged in material activities, his 
character will be criticized. A person in the renounced order should not 
take interest in material activities, but if he does so out of affection 
for a particular person, that should be considered his special mercy.
