TEXT 153
ataeva bhāgavata karaha vicāra
ihā haite pābe sūtra-śrutira artha-sāra
SYNONYMS
ataeva—therefore; bhāgavata-Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam; karaha vicāra—try to understand scrutinizingly; ihā haite—from this; pābe—you will get; sūtra-śrutira—of the Vedic philosophy, the Brahma-sūtra; artha-sāra—the actual meaning.
TRANSLATION
Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu advised Prakāśānanda Sarasvatī, “Study Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam very scrutinizingly. Then you will understand the actual meaning of the Brahma-sūtra.”
PURPORT
Śrīla Bhaktisiddhānta Sarasvatī Ṭhākura states that without studying Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam one cannot understand the purport of the Brahma-sūtra (Vedānta-sūtra) or the Upaniṣads. If one tries to understand Vedānta philosophy and the Upaniṣads without studying Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam, one will be bewildered and, construing a different meaning, will gradually become an atheist or an impersonalist.
