examine them and then correctly present them. Only then would Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu agree to listen.

TRANSLATION
Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu was never pleased to hear books or verses opposed to the conclusive statements of devotional service. The Lord did not like hearing rasābhāsa, the overlapping of transcendental mellows.
PURPORT
Bhakti-siddhānta-viruddha  refers to that which is against the principle of unity in diversity, philosophically known as  acintya-bhedābheda —simultaneously oneness and difference.  Rasābhāsa  may appear to be a transcendental mellow, but actually it is not. Those who are pure Vaiṣṇavas should avoid these things opposed to devotional service. These misconceptions practically parallel the Māyāvāda philosophy. If one indulges in Māyāvāda philosophy, he gradually falls down from the platform of devotional service. By overlapping mellows ( rasābhāsa ) one eventually becomes a  prākṛta-sahajiyā  and takes everything to be very easy. One may also become a member of the  bāula  community and gradually become attracted to material activities. Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu has therefore advised us to avoid  bhakti-siddhānta-viruddha  and  rasābhāsa . In this way the devotee can remain pure and free from falldowns. Everyone should try to remain aloof from  bhakti-siddhānta-viruddha  and  rasābhāsa .
