TEXT 1811
প্রেম বিনা কড়ু নহে তাঁর সাক্ষাৎকার । ইঁতার রুপাত্তে হয় দরশন ইঁতার ॥ ১৮১ ॥

TRANSLATION
“Without having ecstatic love for Kṛṣṇa, one cannot see Him directly. Therefore through the mercy of Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu, Brahmānanda Bhāratī has acquired direct vision of the Lord.”
PURPORT
Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu said, “You are Brahmānanda Bhāratī, an advanced devotee who ecstatically loves the Supreme Lord. Therefore you see Kṛṣṇa every-where, and there is no doubt about it.” Sārvabhauma Bhaṭṭācārya was a mediator between Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu and Brahmānanda Bhāratī, and his judgment was that an advanced devotee like Brahmānanda Bhāratī sees Kṛṣṇa by Kṛṣṇa’s mercy. Kṛṣṇa directly presents Himself before the vision of an advanced devotee. Since Brahmānanda Bhāratī was an advanced devotee, he saw Kṛṣṇa in the person of Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu. In the words of  Brahma-saṁhitā  (5.38):
premāñjana-cchurita-bhakti-vilocanena  
 santaḥ sadaiva hṛdayeṣu vilokayanti  
 yaṁ śyāmasundaram acintya-guṇa-svarūpaṁ  
 govindam ādi-puruṣaṁ tam aharṅ bhajāmi
