PLATE EIGHT
“For seven days continuously, Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu listened to the Vedānta philosophy expounded by Sārvabhauma Bhaṭṭācārya. However, Caitanya Mahāprabhu did not say anything and did not indicate whether it was right or wrong. He simply sat there and listened to the Bhaṭṭācārya. On the eighth day, Sārvabhauma Bhaṭṭācārya said to Caitanya Mahāprabhu: ‘You have been listening to the Vedānta philosophy from me continuously for seven days. You have simply been listening, fixed in Your silence. Since You do not say whether You think it is right or wrong, I cannot know whether You are actually understanding Vedānta philosophy or not.’” ( pp.  258-259)
