Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam
[Canto 4, Ch. 22]
persons who are after money and sense gratification. This is the advice of Lord Caitanya Mahāprabhu:
niṣkiñcanasya bhagavad-bhajanonmukhasya pāram param jigamiṣor bhava-sāgarasya sandarśanam viṣayiṇām atha yoṣitām ca hā hanta hanta viṣa -bhakṣaṇato py asādhu.
(Cc. Madhya 11.8)
The word  brahmaṇi  used in this verse is commented upon by the impersonalists or professional reciters of  Bhāgavatam , who are mainly advocates of the caste system by demoniac birthright. They say that  brahmaṇi  means the impersonal Brahman. But they cannot conclude this without reference to the context of the words  bhaktyā  and  guṇābhidhānena . According to the impersonalists, there are no transcendental qualities in the impersonal Brahman; therefore we should understand that  brahmaṇi  means “in the Supreme Personality of Godhead.” Kṛṣṇa is the Supreme Personality of Godhead, as admitted by Arjuna in  Bhagavad-gītā ; therefore wherever the word  brahma  is used, it must refer to Kṛṣṇa, not to the impersonal Brahman effulgence.  Brahmeti paramātmeti bhagavān iti śabdyate  ( Bhāg.  1.2.11). Brahman, Paramātmā and Bhagavān can all be taken in total as Brahman, but when there is reference to the word  bhakti  or remembrance of the transcendental qualities, the word indicates the Supreme Personality of Godhead, not the impersonal Brahman.
