TEXT 91

tabu ta' īśvara-jñāna nā haya tomāra
īśvarera māyā ei--bali vyavahāra


SYNONYMS

tabu ta'-still, however; īśvara-jñāna—knowledge of the Supreme Personality of Godhead; nā—not; haya—there is; tomāra—your; īśvarera—of the Lord; māyā—the illusion; ei—this; bali—saying; vyavahāra—the general term.


TRANSLATION

"Despite directly perceiving the symptoms of the Supreme Lord in the body of Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu, you cannot understand Him. This is commonly called illusion.


PURPORT

Gopīnātha Ācārya is pointing out that Sārvabhauma Bhaṭṭācārya had already seen uncommon symptoms of ecstasy in the body of Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu.

These uncommon symptoms of ecstatic love indicated the Supreme Person, but despite having seen all these symptoms, the Bhaṭṭācārya could not understand the Lord's transcendental nature. He was considering the Lord's pastimes to be mundane. This was certainly due to illusion.
