Nityananda Caritamrta

ÇRÉ NITYÄNANDA CARITÄMÅTA
Licensed for Personal Use Only
Whatever the Vaiñëavas offer to Çré Gauracandra, He gladly
accepts. By the mercy of Kåñëa, all the devotees remain merged
in the ocean of transcendental bliss. However, the devotees
sometimes engage in mock fighting. Seeing this mock fighting,
if a person takes the side of one devotee and criticizes another,
then he should be considered most unfortunate. All the devotees
of the Lord are nondifferent from the Lord, just as the
hands, fingers, and legs are inseparable parts of the body. Still,
it is the conviction of all Vaiñëavas that Çré Kåñëa Caitanya is
the worshipable Lord of everyone in all respects. They always
glorify the Lord as the supreme controller, sole maintainer, supreme
witness, and unfathomable truth.
One can achieve the wealth of bhakti by the mercy of those
in whom the Supreme Lord mercifully manifests Himself. Even
if the Lord invests all His energies and the quality of omniscience
in a devotee, He still punishes him when he commits
offenses.
It is the special feature of Lord Caitanya that He never failed
to glorify Nityänanda and Advaita. Even if these two personalities
performed uncommon activities, Gauracandra still did not
say anything to criticize Them.
After spending some blissful moments with Avadhüta Nityänanda,
Lord Gauräìga bade farewell and returned to His
residence. Nityänanda Svarüpa then happily went to see Lord
Jagannätha. Anyone who hears this description of the meeting
between Caitanya and Nityänanda will be relieved from material
bondage.
Accepting Lord Çré Caitanya and Nityänanda Prabhu as my
life and soul, I, Våndävana däsa, sing the glories of Their lotus
feet.
