Text 133] The Lord’s Tour of South India 67
others accepted many thousands of disciples to induce them to render devotional
service. However, there is a class of sahajiyas who think that these activities are
opposed to the principles of devotional service. Indeed, they consider such ac-
tivities simply another phase of materialism. Thus opposing the principles of Sri
Caitanya Mahdaprabhu, they commit offenses at His lotus feet. They should better
consider His instructions and, instead of seeking to be considered humble and
meek, should refrain from criticizing the followers of $rf Caitanya Mahaprabhu
who engage in preaching. To protect His preachers, $ri Caitanya Mahaprabhu has
given much clear advice in these verses of Caitanya-caritamrta.

While on His tour, Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu would spend the night at a
temple or on the roadside. Whenever He accepted food from a person, He
