Cmp 13. Arguments With Students

CHAITANYA MAHAPRABHU At this stage of his Life, Nimai engaged himself, In the scholarly pursuits, Not keen on anything else. He became the best student. Among all he was so intelligent, His Guru liked him very much And preferred him to teach. Other Students were jealous, Of his achievements in the class, And they paid little attention To his glory or high position. He conducted a debate, In that finally he did defeat The opposite contestants By his sensible arguments. His beautiful appearance, Kept him like a prince. At the age of sixteen He looked like a man. He invited one student, Murari Gupta for argument, He wasn't well prepared And didn't come forward. "You're a physician. Do practice medicine." Nimai taunted him so And asked him to go. Murari Gupta surrendered And at the end, he said, "I'll study the subjects Under your able guidance." In this way he challenged Many scholars, who posed Themselves as superiors In the knowledge of Vedas. None of them understood His being the Godhead As a Supreme Personality Among the entire humanity. He wasn't also keen to reveal His identity, what was real, In the true sense of devotion That being his holy mission.
