288 Sti Caitanya-caritamrta [Madhya-lila, Ch. 24

PURPORT

One cannot write on spiritual matters without being blessed by Krsna and the
disciplic succession of gurus. The blessings of the authorities are one’s power of
attorney. One should not try to write anything about Vaisnava behavior and ac-
tivities without being authorized by superior authorities. This is confirmed in
Bhagavad-gitd: evam paramapard-praptam imam rdjarsayo viduh.
