“Dear sir, You are Vedic knowledge personified and are directly Narayana Him-
self. Kindly excuse us for the offenses we previously committed by criticizing You.”

PURPORT

The complete path of bhakti-yoga is based upon the process of becoming
humble and submissive. By the grace of Lord Caitanya Mahaprabhu, all the Maya-
vadi sannyasis were very humble and submissive after hearing His explanation of
Vedanta-sutra, and they begged to be pardoned for the offenses that they had com-
mitted by criticizing the Lord for simply chanting and dancing, not taking part in the
study of Vedanta-sutra. We are propagating the Krsna consciousness move-
ment simply by following in the footsteps of Lord Caitanya Mahaprabhu. We may
not be very well versed in the Vedanta-sutra codes and may not understand their
meaning, but we follow in the footsteps of the acaryas, and because of our strictly
and obediently following in the footsteps of Lord Caitanya Mahaprabhu, it is to be
understood that we know everything regarding Vedanta-sutra.
