However, one cannot defy the previous  ācāryas . The false pride that makes one think that he can write better than the previous  ācāryas  will make one's comments faulty. At the present moment it has become fashionable for everyone to write in his own way, but such writing is never accepted by serious devotees. Because of false pride, every scholar and philosopher wants to exhibit his learning by interpreting the  śāstras , especially  Bhagavad-gītā  and  Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam , in his own way. This system of commenting in one's own way is fully condemned by Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu. Therefore He says, ' artha-vyasta' likhana sei . Commentaries written according to one's own philosophical way are never accepted; no one will appreciate such commentaries on the revealed scriptures.
