CHAPTER TWENTY-FOUR
Talks with Sarbabhouma Battacharya
When Lord Chaitanya met Sarbabhouma Bhattacharya at Jagannath Puri, Bhattacharya, as the great logician of the day, also wanted to teach Him Vedanta. Bhattacharya was an elderly man of the age of Lord Chaitanya's father, and therefore he took compassion on the young Sannyasi; he requested that He should learn  Vedanta Sutra  from him, otherwise it would be difficult to continue as a young Sannyasi. When the Lord agreed to learn Vedanta philosophy from Bhattacharya, he began to teach Him in the temple of Jagannath. Bhattacharya spoke to the Lord about  Vedanta Sutra  continually for seven days, and the Lord silently heard him without speaking a word. On the eighth day of teaching, Sarbabhouma Bhattacharya enquired from the Lord, "You are hearing  Vedanta Sutra  from me for the last week, but You do not inquire or say anything as to whether I am explaining it nicely. So I cannot tell whether You understand me or not."
The Lord replied as follows: "I am a fool, I have no study of  Vedanta Sutra , but you asked Me to hear you, and therefore I am trying to hear you."
