Teachings of Lord Chaitanya
Personality of Godhead, Krishna, but even though You present Youself as a devotee, still You are worshippable by me, because You are greater than all of us in education and in realization. Therefore, by blaspheming You, we committed the greatest offense and You should excuse us.”
How a devotee becomes the greatest of all transcendentalists is stated in the  Srimad Bhagwatam , Sixth Canto, Fourteenth Chapter: “There are many liberated souls, and there are many perfected souls; but out of all such liberated and perfected souls, one who is a devotee of the Supreme Personality of Godhead is the best. Such devotees of the Supreme Personality of Godhead are always calm and quiet, and their perfection is very rarely to be seen even in millions of persons.”
Prakasananda quoted another verse from the Tenth Canto, Fourth Chapter, in which it is stated that duration of life, prosperity, fame, religiousness, and the benediction of higher authorities—everything gained, becomes lost by transgressing the respect of a devotee. He quoted another verse from  Srimad Bhagwatam , Seventh Canto, Fifth Chapter, in which it is stated that the touch of the Lotus Feet of the Supreme Personality of Godhead causes the disappearance of all kinds of misgivings of the conditioned soul. But this facility of touching the Lotus Feet of the Supreme Lord is not possible unless one receives benediction by the dust of the Lotus Feet of a pure devotee of the Lord. In other words, nobody can become a pure devotee of the Supreme Personality of Godhead without being favored by another pure devotee of the Lord.
Prakasananda Saraswati spoke further: “Now I am taking shelter of Your Lotus Feet, for I want to be elevated to be a devotee of the Supreme Lord.”
After talking in this way, both Prakasananda Saraswati and Lord Chaitanya sat together and Prakasananda Saraswati began to enquire from the Lord as follows: “Whatever You have said in pointing out discrepancies in the Mayavadi philosophy is known to us also, because we know that all the commentaries on Vedic Scriptures by Mayavadi philosophers are in error by interpretation—especially those by Sankaracharya, whose interpretation of  Vedanta Sutra  is all his own imagination. You have not explained the codes of  Vedanta Sutra  and  Upanishad  by Your imagination, but You have explained them as they are, and by hearing Your explanation, all of us are very pleased. Such explanations of the codes of  Vedanta Sutra  or  Upanishads  could not be given by anyone else except the Supreme Personality of Godhead, and You have all the potencies. Kindly explain further about the  Vedanta Sutra , so that I may be benefitted.”
Lord Chaitanya again protested against His being called the Supreme Lord,
