Hare Krishna Dear devotees, today we will continue with the commentation on Sri Chaitanya Chandramita of Shila Prabodhananda Saraswati Path. Today's chapter is entitled Continuing with the chapter entitled Shri Caitanya Abhakta Ninda Criticism of the non devotees of Lord Sri Chaitanya Mahprabhu Only a person not bathing in the ocean of love manifested by Lord Caitanya submerges in the ocean of unwanted things. Translation of Shila Baksa Siddhanta Saraswati Thakur's Bengali translation Even when the moon of Lord Goda Lord Chaitanya has risen in the expansive ocean of love, those who have not bathed in that ocean of love they have immersed themselves in ocean of unarthas unwanted things. Commentary by Shlabakti Siddhanta Saraswati Thakur Avatirna Gaurachandre means when the Gaura moon Lord Chaitanya arises Vistirne prema sagare in the expansive ocean of loving mellow. E na Majanti means those who do not immerse themselves. They means they immerse in the ocean of unwanted things or things which are superfluous. The four goals of human life enunciated by the Vedic literatures religiosity, economic development, sense gratification and liberation or giving up the supreme goal of life Krishna Prema they immerse themselves in the ocean of donkey's urine like Anarthas such as Kuttinati, fault finding or diplomacy and Pratishtasha, the desire for name and fame and for high position. He compares Pratishtasha and Kuttinati to bathing in donkey urine. It's like to bathing in donkey urine.

Prema, then that ocean of Krishna Prema will protect you from other kinds of desires.
That ocean of Ka Prema will protect you from other kinds of desires.
If you don't want Ka Prema.
But if you don't want Ka Prema.
Then all these other desires come in the fire.
So all these kind of other desires come into play. For instance, the Dharma Artha Kama Moksha. Kuttinathi Jeevahimsa Pratrisha Pratishtasa.
Pratishtasa. One likes wants to have a famous position.
Pratishtasha means one likes to have a famous position.
Something that I envious as I see others having some material position.

I think that they are pious people.
We think that they are pious people.
Lord Chaitanya is thinking that they are actually missing the point.
Lord Chaitanya is thinking that they are actually missing the point. He's offering Lord Krishna because he's offering love of Krishna. That's what people should want. Verse number 36. Only a person who does not drink the honey from the lotus feet of Lord Caitanya is very foolish. His Divine Grace AC Bhaktivedanta Swami Srila Prabhupada's translation. A person who does not take advantage of the nectar of devotional Service overflowing during the presence of R. Chaitanya Mahaprabhu's cult is certainly the poorest of the poor. Bhakti Siddhanta Saraswati Thakur's translation Bengali translation translated into English when the moon of Lord Chaitanya has risen and increased the ocean of the mellow of Mahabhava. If a person is poor without drinking that ocean then he is truly poor. Greatly unfortunate.
So all this verses are teaching us.
