Guest guest Posted November 12, 2000 Report Share Posted November 12, 2000 Do not know if the exact story is there but the principle " A disciple should be fixed in the conclusion that the spiritual master cannot be subject to criticism and should never be considered equal to a common man." is there, in a Bengali poem "Even if I see that Lord Nityananda has entered a liquor shop, I shall not be diverted from my conclusion that Nityananda Raya is the Supreme Personality of Godhead". Please See the reference below. >From CC Antya 3.11 Purport. Even if there appears to be some discrepancy according to an imperfect devotee's estimation, the devotee should be fixed in the convction that even if his spiritual master goes to a liquor shop, he is not a drunkard, rather he must have some purpose in going there. It is said in a Bengali poem: yadyapi nityananda sura badi yayal tathapio haya Nityananda Raya. "Even if I see that Lord Nityananda has entered a liquor shop, I shall not be diverted from my conclusion that Nityananda Raya is the Supreme Personality of Godhead". Does someone know who has written the above Bengali poem? Your humble servant, Bhadra Govinda Das. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
