Sometime back Bhakti Vikasa Swami raised a question about BSST being quoted on

taking sannyasa out of humility, not pride.

 

I was reading the CC Antya 13.6, and the cite is in the purport, being

paraphrased by Srila Prabhupada.

 

"In fact, a Vaisnava accepts the sannyasa order knowing that he is unequal to

his spiritual master, who is a paramahamsa, and he thinks that he is unfit to

dress like a paramahamsa. Therefore, a Vaisnava accepts sannyasa out of

humility, not out of pride...Thus a Vaisnava will sometimes accept the sannyasa

order just to keep himself below the level of a paramahamsa Vaisnava. This is

the instruction of Srila Bhaktisiddhanta Sarasvati Thakura."
