TRANSLATION
Hearing this instruction, Madhavendra Puri, greatly angry, rebuked him by
saying, ‘‘Get out, you sinful rascal!
PURPORT
Ramacandra Puri could not understand that his spiritual master, Madhavendra
Puri, was feeling transcendental separation. His lamentation was not material.
Rather, it proceeded from the highest stage of ecstatic love of Krsna. When he
was crying in separation, “I could not achieve Krsna! | could not reach Mathura!”
this was not ordinary material lamentation. Ramacandra Puri was not sufficiently
expert to understand the feelings of Madhavendra Puri, but nevertheless he
thought himself very advanced. Therefore, regarding Madhavendra Puti’s expres-
sions as ordinary material lamentation, he advised him to remember Brahman be-
cause he was latently an impersonalist. Madhavendra Puri understood Rama-
candra Puri’s position as a great fool and therefore immediately rebuked him. Such
a reprimand from the spiritual master is certainly for the betterment of the disci-
ple.
