### CC Adi 7.55

> না যাহ সন্ন্যাসি-গোষ্ঠী, ইহা আমি জানি ।\
> মোরে অনুগ্রহ কর নিমন্ত্রণ মানি’ ॥৫৫॥

> nā yāha sannyāsi-goṣṭhī, ihā āmi jāni\
> more anugraha kara nimantraṇa māni'

*nā*—not; *yāha*—You go; *sannyāsi-goṣṭhī*—the association of Māyāvādī *sannyāsīs*; *ihā*—this; *āmi*—I; *jāni*—know; *more*—unto me; *anugraha*—merciful; *kara*—become; *nimantraṇa*—invitation; *māni'*—accepting.

**"My dear Lord, I know that You never mix with other sannyāsīs, but please be merciful unto me and accept my invitation.**

An *ācārya,* or great personality of the Vaiṣṇava school, is very strict in his principles, but although he is as hard as a thunderbolt, sometimes he is as soft as a rose. Thus actually he is independent. He follows all the rules and regulations strictly, but sometimes he slackens this policy. It was known that Lord Caitanya never mixed with the Māyāvādī *sannyāsīs,* yet He conceded to the request of the *brāhmaṇa,* as stated in the next verse.
