Lord Caitanya's Travels to the Holy Places
62
favor pure devotional service, which must be devoid of the taints of fruitive activity and speculative knowledge. As far as fruitive activity is concerned, the contamination is elevation to a higher standard of life, and for speculative knowledge the contamination is merging into the existence of the Absolute Truth. The Tattvavāda  sampradāya  of the Madhvācārya school sticks to the principle of  varṇāśrama-dharma , which involves fruitive activity. Their ultimate goal ( mukti ) is simply a form of desire. A pure devotee should be free from all kinds of desire. He simply engages in the service of the Lord. Nonetheless, Caitanya Mahāprabhu was pleased that the Madhvācārya-sampradāya, or the Tattvavāda  sampradāya , accepted the transcendental form of the Lord. This is the great qualification of these Vaiṣnava  sampradāyas .
It is the Māyāvāda  sampradāya  that does not accept the transcendental form of the Lord. If a Vaiṣṇava  sampradāya  is also carried away by that impersonal attitude, that  sampradāya  has no position at all. It is a fact that there are many so-called Vaiṣṇavas whose ultimate aim is to merge into the existence of the Lord. The  sahajiyās'  Vaiṣṇava philosophy is to become one with the Supreme. Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu points out that Śrī Mādhavendra Purī accepted Madhvācārya only because his  sampradāya  accepted the transcendental form of the Lord.
