“tumi— ptrna-brahmdananda, karaha smarana
brahmavit hafid kene karaha rodana?”

SYNONYMS

tumi—you; pUrna-brahma-ananda—full in transcendental bliss; karaha
smarana—you should remember; brahma-vit hafid—being fully aware of Brah-
man; kene—why; karaha rodana—are you crying.

TRANSLATION

“If you are in full transcendental bliss,’’ he said, ‘‘you should now remem-
ber only Brahman. Why are you crying?”’

PURPORT

As stated in Bhagavad-gita, brahma-bhutah prasannatma: a Brahman realized
person is always happy. Na socati na kanksati: he neither laments nor aspires for
anything. Not knowing why Madhavendra Purl was crying, Ramacandra Puri tried
to become his advisor. Thus he committed a great offense, for a disciple should
never try to instruct his spiritual master.
