Cmp 17. Nimai Finding Faults

CHAITANYA MAHAPRABHU Nimai was finding faults Often in others' writings, But he said something else In Ishvara Puri's case. Ishvara Puri said, "You're, No doubt, a great scholar, Please go thru' my book On Krishna for any mistake." Nimai explained, "A pure Devotee is a good writer And can never write Anything other than fact." "The Lord equally accepts The prayers of scholars As well as ignorant persons Without finding mistakes." "Whatever you've written It's your own expression Of love for the Lord, To find fault, it's no good." He found faults with others, Later he said, it was an offence To find any kind of mistakes In the writings of devotees. One person said, "He makes All kind of tricky questions To defeat me and for this reason On seeing him, far away I run." Another said, "One cannot Escape when he is caught. But still an authority he is On several difficult subjects." One asked him, "Why do you Waste time and pursue This material knowledge And not spiritual knowledge." "The aim of education is To do devotional service And to worship the Lord, As its goal in the end." Nimai simply laughed As He Himself the Lord They knew not this, But taught Him lessons.
