Text 4] The Doorkeepers Cursed by the Sages 637
considered himself a Mohammedan and did not enter the temple. Lord
Caitanya could understand his humility, and since he did not go to see the
temple, Lord Caitanya Himself, who is nondifferent from Jagannatha,
used to come and sit with Haridasa [hakura daily. Here in Srimad-
Bhagavatam we also find this same behavior of the Lord. His devotees
were prevented from seeing His lotus feet, but the Lord Himself came
to see them on the same lotus feet for which they aspired. It is also
significant that He was accompanied by the goddess of fortune. The
goddess of fortune is not to be seen by ordinary persons, but the Lord
was so kind that although the devotees did not aspire for such an honor,
Ife appeared before them with the goddess of fortune.
