people in general. He teaches the process of devotional service, which is the
constitutional position of every living entity; it is every man’s duty to advance
in spiritual science. All these things are very nicely discussed in the talks be-
tween Lord Chaitanya and Sanatan Goswami. At the mercy of Lord Chaitanya
Sanatan was able to put questions before Him, and these are replied to pro-
perly.

The meeting of Sanatan and Lord Chaitanya teaches us that in order to
understand spiritual subject matters, one must approach a Spiritual Master
like Lord Chaitanya Mahaprabhu and make submissive enquiries. This is also
confirmed in the instruction of the Bhagavad Gita: that one should approach
a man of authority, and learn from him about spiritual science.
