Cmp 46. Lord Chaitanya Met Goswami

CHAITANYA MAHAPRABHU One day, The Lord was walking With Nityananda and observing In the streets of Navadvipa Town All the creations of His own. They came to a village Lalitapura About half way to Shantipura, They saw a hut by the side of river, And went to find, who was there? A family-sanyasi lived And he blessed the Lord, "May you possess wealth, Fame, beautiful wife and health." Correcting him, the Lord told, "It should be, not as you said, But ‘May you receive Krishna's Merciful glance and blessings! " "From our karma, bad or good, In the past, we eat our food, And you say we're born To enjoy wealth and children." "In that case, at the time death, Why we're leaving our wealth? Why disease should attack us? It's our past karma that dictates us." "The path to the heaven Vedas will fully explain, Saying it's better than Earthly life full of sins." "By chanting Lord's name, Or bathing in Ganga every time, Will not get you just wealth, But will lead you to heavenly path." "Only knowledgeable persons Can, however, understand this, Please consider these points And try to know these things." Sanyasi replied, "I've travelled In the country, far and wide, And from a suckling child, Should I learn what's good or bad? " "Listen Goswami, " Nityananda said, "There's no need to deal with a child, I'm aware of your position and fame. Forgive us as we've to leave this time." Despite Goswami's negative views, The Lord considering his ignorance, He took the food what sanyasi offered, That He could have easily refused.
