A Brähmaëa’s Doubt about the Character of Lord Nityänanda and Its Removal by Lord Caitanya<br />
Material piety and sin, which arise from the good<br />
and evil of this world, cannot exist within My unalloyed<br />
devotees, who, being free from material hankering,<br />
maintain steady spiritual consciousness in all circumstances.<br />
Indeed, such devotees have achieved Me,<br />
the Supreme Lord, who am beyond anything that can<br />
be conceived by material intelligence.<br />
padma patre yena kabhu nähi loge jala<br />
ei mata nityänanda svärüpa nirmala<br />
paramärtha kåñëacandra tähäna çarére<br />
niçcaya jäniha bipra sarvadä bihare<br />
adhikäré bai kare tähäna ämära<br />
duùkha päya sei jana päpa janma täya<br />
rudra bine anye yadi kare biñagäna<br />
sarvathäya mare sarva puräëa pramäëa<br />
“Just as water does not touch a lotus leaf, no faults<br />
touch Nityänanda Svarüpa. O brähmaëa, know that<br />
Kåñëacandra eternally resides in Nityänanda’s body.<br />
Those disregarding an exalted person will suffer miseries<br />
and reap sinful reactions. The Puräëas say that<br />
if anyone other than Lord Çiva drinks poison, he will<br />
surely die.<br />
Çrémad-Bhägavatam (10.33.29-30) also says:<br />
çré-çuka uväca<br />
dharma-vyatikramo dåñöa éçvaräëäà ca sähasam<br />
tejéyasäà na doñäya vahneù sarva-bhujo yathä<br />
“Çukadeva Gosvämé said: The status of powerful<br />
controllers is not harmed by any apparently audacious<br />
transgression of morality we may see in them, for they<br />
are just like fire, which devours everything fed into it<br />
and remains unpolluted.<br />
