Bhaktivadanta Swami Prabhupada) Your spiritual master would certainly _not_ be pleased by your mental speculation to "beware of logicians," since he explicitly stated: "Everything is full of sense and logic, and the exchange of views between the master and disciple is possible only when the reception is submissive and real. In the _Chaitanya-charitaamR^ita_ it is said that one should receive the teaching of Lord Chaitanya with intellect and full senses so that one can logically understand the great mission. ..." Srimad Bhagavatam 2.3.20 purport Srila Prabhupada thus commands us to understand Lord Chaitanya's mission as logicians, not as sentimentalists or brainwashed cultists. Yours, Vijay S.
