TRANSLATION

Such topics are not to be discussed freely because if they are, no one
will understand them. Such are the wonderful pastimes of Sri Caitanya
Mahaprabhu. Unto one who is able to understand, Sri Caitanya
Mahaprabhu has shown mercy by giving him the association of the ser-
vant of His own servant.

PURPORT

An ordinary person cannot understand the transcendental ecstasies in the
mode of Srimati Radharant. Unfit persons who utilize them are perverted into
the sahajiyd, baula and other sampradayas. Thus the teachings are perverted.
Even learned scholars in the academic field cannot understand the transcen-
dental bliss and ecstasy exhibited by Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu and His pure
devotees. One must be fit to understand the purport of Sri Caitanya
Mahaprabhu's activities.
