tabeta janiba siddhanta-samudra-taranga

SYNONYMS

caitanyera—of Lord Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu; bhakta-ganera—of the devo-
tees; nitya—regularly; kara—do; sariga—association; tabeta—then only;
janiba—you will understand; siddhanta-samudra-taranga—the waves of the
ocean of devotional service.

TRANSLATION

Svaripa Damodara continued, “Associate regularly with the devotees of Sri
Caitanya Mahaprabhu, for then only will you understand the waves of the
ocean of devotional service.

PURPORT

It is clearly to be understood in this connection that the followers of Sri
Caitanya Mahaprabhu’s way of devotional service are eternally associates of the
Supreme Personality of Godhead and perfect knowers of the Absolute Truth. If
one immediately follows the principles of Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu by associating
with His devotees, lusty desires for material enjoyment will vanish from one’s
heart. Then one will be able to understand the meaning of Srimad-Bhagavatam
and the purpose of listening to it. Otherwise such understanding is impossible.
