[Guest guest]

in addition to Krsna kirti's and ajamila's nice quote, there is this famous

one.

 

I remember one famous morning walk in LA, when a disciple told srila

Prabhupada that he wanted to go back to college to learn philosophy. Srila

Prabhupada quoted this verse and laid stress on :Nirupitam" already

concluded,,,(by the previous acharyas),

 

why then, SP said, did this disciple want to go to college for philosophy?

of the Lord, who is defined in choice poetry.
