294 Sri Caitanya-caritamrta [Adi-lila, Ch. 17
PURPORT
Advaita Acarya was a disciple of Madhavendra Puri, igvara Puri’s spiritual master.
Therefore igvara Puri, the spiritual master of Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu, was Advaita
Acarya’s Godbrother. As such, Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu treated Advaita Acarya
as His spiritual master, but Sri Advaita Acarya did not like this behavior of Lord
Caitanya, for He wanted to be treated as His eternal servant. Advaita Prabhu’s
aspiration was to be a servant of the Lord, not His spiritual master. He therefore
devised a plan to antagonize the Lord, He began to explain the path of philosophical
speculation in the midst of some unfortunate Mayavadis, and when Lord Caitanya
Mahaprabhu heard about this, He immediately went there and in a very angry mood
began to beat Advaita Acarya. At that time, Advaita Acarya, greatly pleased, began
to dance, saying, ‘‘Just see how My desire has now been fulfilled! Lord Caitanya
Mahaprabhu used to treat Me honorably for so long, but now He is treating Me
neglectfully. This is My reward. His affection for Me is so great that He wanted to
save Me from the hands of the Mayavadis.’’ Hearing this statement, Lord Caitanya
Mahaprabhu was somewhat ashamed, but He was very much pleased with Advaita
Acarya.
