Text 146] Pastimes of the Lord in His Youth 335

déra ha-ite dila kaji mathd noyaiya

SYNONYMS
dira ha-ite—from a distant place; di/@—came; kaji—the Kazi; matha—head;
noyalyag—bowed down; kajfre—unto the Kazi; vasai/@—gave a seat; prabhu—the Lord;
samména—respect; kar/yd—offering.
TRANSLATION

When the Kazi came, his head bowed down, the Lord gave him proper respect
and a seat.

PURPORT

Some of the men in Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu's civil disobedience movement were
agitated because they could not control their minds. But the Lord was thoroughly
peaceful, sober and unagitated. Therefore when the Kazi came down to see Him, the
Lord offered him proper respect and a seat because he was a respectable government
officer. Thus the Lord taught us by His personal behavior. In pushing on our
sankirtana movement of Krsna consciousness, we might have to face difficult days,
but we should always follow in the footsteps of Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu and do
the needful according to the time and circumstances.
