Teachings of Lord Chaitanya
self as a great devotee is teaching all the conditioned souls how devotional service should be conducted. The conditioned souls who are interested in devotional service should follow, therefore in the exemplary footsteps of Lord Chaitanya, to learn how Krishna can be achieved by devotional service. In other words, the Supreme Lord Himself teaches the conditioned soul how He should be approached by devotional service.
By analytical study of the five diverse manifestations of the Supreme Lord we can know that Lord Sri Chaitanya Mahaprabhu is the Supreme Absolute, and that Lord Nityananda is an immediate expansion of the Supreme Absolute Truth. We can understand that Adwaita Prabhu is also in the category of the Supreme Personality of Godhead, but he is the subordinate to Lord Chaitanya and Nityananda Prabhu. The Supreme Personality of Godhead and His immediate subordinate expansions are all worshippable by the other two, namely, the internal potential representation, and the marginal potential representation.
The internal potential representation, Gadadhara, represents the pure devotee, and the marginal potential representation is a confidential devotee. Both these categories are worshippers of the other three categories, but all of them—the two worshippable categories and the two in the worshipper category—are engaged in the transcendental loving service of the Supreme Personality of Godhead, Sri Chaitanya Mahaprabhu.
There is a specific difference between the pure devotee and the confidential devotee. Different potencies of the Lord are engaged in serving the Supreme Lord in different transcendental relationships. They are situated in conjugal love, in parental affection, in friendly affinity and in obedient servitude. By impartial judgement, it is found that the internal potencies of the Supreme Lord, engaged in conjugal love with Him, are the best of all devotees. As such, both internal devotees and confidential devotees are attracted by the conjugal love of the Supreme Absolute Truth, and are the most confidential devotees of Lord Chaitanya. Other pure devotees, who are more or less attached to Sri Nityananda Prabhu and to Adwaita Prabhu, are attracted by other transcendental relationships, such as parental affection, friendly affinity and obedient servitude. When such devotees are very much attached to the activities of Lord Chaitanya, at once they become confidential devotees in conjugal love with the Supreme Lord.
There is a very nice song sung by a great devotee and  Acharya  in the discipline succession from Lord Chaitanya. His name is Sri Thakur Narottamdas. Sri Thakur says as follows: “When will there be a transcendental vibration
