TRANSIATION
It was the practice for Svarūpa Dāmodara Gosvāmī to examine all literatures to find out whether their conclusions were correct. Only then would he allow them to be heard by Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu.
PURPORT
Śrīla Bhaktisiddhānta Sarasvatī Țhākura says that if something impedes the execution of devotional service, it should be understood to be impure. Pure devotees of the Lord do not accept impure principles. Impure devotees accept  rasābhāsa , or overlapping, contradictory mellows, and other principles opposed to the  bhakti  path. The followers of such impure principles are never accepted as pure devotees. There are many parties following the path of  rasābhāsa , and the followers are sometimes adored by ordinary men. Those who adopt the conclusions of  rasābhāsa  and  bhakti-siddhānta-viruddha  are never accepted as devotees of Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu. Svarūpa Dāmodara Gosvāmī never approved such followers as Gauḍīya Vaiṣṇavas, nor did he allow them even to meet the Supreme Lord Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu.
