Srila Prabodhananda Sarasvati's "Sri Caitanya-candramrta" (The Nectar Moon of Sri Caitanya) Text 113 stri-putradi-katham jahur visayinah sastra-pravadam budha yogindra vijahur marun-niyama-ja-klesam tapas tapasah jnanabhyasa-vidhim jahus ca yatayas caitanya-candre param aviskurvati bhakti-yoga-padavim naivanya asid rasah "Now that the moon of Lord Caitanyacandra has revealed the path of pure devotional service, the materialists have given up talking about their wives, children, and material affairs, the scholars have given up debating the scriptures, the yogis have given up the trouble to control the breath, the ascetics have given up their austerity, and the impersonalists have given up impersonalism. Now there is only the sweetness of pure devotional service. Now nothing else is sweet." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
