Śrī Caitanya-caritāmṛta
TRANSLATION
By remembering the lotus feet of the Pañca-tattva, a dumb man can become a poet, a lame man can cross mountains, and a blind man can see the stars in the sky.
PURPORT
In Vaiṣṇava philosophy there are three ways for perfection—namely,  sādhana-siddha , perfection attained by executing devotional service according to the rules and regulations,  nitya-siddha , eternal perfection attained by never forgetting Kṛṣṇa at any time, and  kṛpā-siddha , perfection attained by the mercy of the spiritual master or a Vaiṣṇava. Kavirāja Gosvāmī here stresses  kṛpā-siddha , perfection by the mercy of superior authorities. This mercy does not depend on the qualifications of a devotee. By such mercy, even if a devotee is dumb he can speak or write to glorify the Lord splendidly, even if lame he can cross mountains, and even if blind he can see the stars in the sky.
TEXT 6
এ-সব না মানে যেই পণ্ডিত সকল । তা-সবার বিত্তাপাঠ ভেক-কোলাহল ॥ ৬ ॥
e-saba nā māne yei paṇḍita sakala tā-sabāra vidyā-pāṭha bheka-kolāhala
SYNONYMS
e-saba —all these;  nā —does not;  māne —accept;  yei —anyone;  paṇḍita —so-called learned;  sakala —all;  tā-sabāra —of all of them;  vidyā-pāṭha —the educational cultivation;  bheka —of frogs;  kolāhala —tumultuous sound.
TRANSLATION
The education cultivated by so-called learned scholars who do not believe these statements of Caitanya-caritāmṛta is like the tumultuous croaking of frogs.
PURPORT
The croaking of the frogs in the rainy season resounds very loudly in the forest, with the result that snakes, hearing the croaking in the darkness, approach the frogs and swallow them. Similarly, the so-called educational vibrations of the tongues of university professors who do not have spiritual knowledge is like the croaking of frogs.
TEXT 7
এই সব না মানে যেবা করে কৃষ্ণভক্তি । কৃষ্ণ-কৃপা নাহি তারে, নাহি তার গতি ॥ ৭ ॥
