Teachings of Lord Chaitanya
people in general. He teaches the process of devotional service, which is the constitutional position of every living entity; it is every man's duty to advance in spiritual science. All these things are very nicely discussed in the talks between Lord Chaitanya and Sanatan Goswami. At the mercy of Lord Chaitanya Sanatan was able to put questions before Him, and these are replied to properly.
The meeting of Sanatan and Lord Chaitanya teaches us that in order to understand spiritual subject matters, one must approach a Spiritual Master like Lord Chaitanya Mahaprabhu and make submissive enquiries. This is also confirmed in the instruction of the  Bhagavad Gita : that one should approach a man of authority, and learn from him about spiritual science.
