42 Sri Caitanya-caritamrta [Adi-lila, Ch. 12

gion. They are impotent; they cannot do anything to spread the Vedic culture for
the benefit of human society. The essence of the Vedic culture is the message of Sri
Caitanya Mahaprabhu. Lord Caitanya instructed:

yare dekha, tare kaha ‘krsna’ upadesa
Gmara Gjndya guru hafid tara’ ei desa
(Cc. Madhya 7.128)

One should simply instruct everyone he meets regarding the principles of Arsna-
kathd, as expressed in Bhagavad-gita As It Is and Srimad-Bhdgavatam. One who has
no interest in kesna-kathd or the cult of Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu is like dry, useless
wood with no living force. The ISKCON branch, being directly watered by Sri
Caitanya Mahaprabhu, is becoming undoubtedly successful, whereas the discon-
nected branches of the so-called Hindu religion that are envious of ISKCON are
drying up and dying.
