TEXT 21

"tumi--pūrṇa-brahmānanda, karaha smaraṇa
brahmavit hañā kene karaha rodana?"


SYNONYMS

tumi—you; pūrṇa-brahma-ānanda—full in transcendental bliss; karaha smaraṇa—you should remember; brahma-vit hañā—being fully aware of Brahman; kene—why; karaha rodana—are you crying.


TRANSLATION

"If you are in full transcendental bliss," he said,"you should now remember only Brahman. Why are you crying?""If you are in full transcendental bliss," he said,"you should now remember only Brahman. Why are you crying?"


PURPORT

As stated in Bhagavad-gītā, brahma-bhūtaḥ prasannātmā: a Brahman realized person is always happy. Na śocati na kāṅkṣati: he neither laments nor aspires for anything. Not knowing why Mādhavendra Purī was crying, Rāmacandra Purī tried to become his advisor. Thus he committed a great offense, for a disciple should never try to instruct his spiritual master.
