In this verse the words tomÄra prabhÄve (“Your influenceâ€) are very important. Unless one is spiritually advanced he cannot influence an audience. Bhaktivinoda ṬhÄkura has sung, Å›uddha-bhakata-caraṇa-reṇu, bhajana-anukÅ«la. “Unless one associates with a pure devotee, he cannot be influenced to understand devotional service.†These MÄyÄvÄdÄ« sannyÄsÄ«s were fortunate enough to meet the Supreme Personality of Godhead in the form of a devotee, and certainly they were greatly influenced by the Lord. They knew that since a perfectly advanced spiritualist never says anything false, all his words are reasonable and agree with the Vedic version. A highly realized person never says anything that has no meaning. MÄyÄvÄdÄ« philosophers claim to be the Supreme Personality of Godhead, and this has no meaning, but ÅšrÄ« Caitanya MahÄprabhu never uttered such nonsense. The MÄyÄvÄdÄ« sannyÄsÄ«s were convinced about His personality, and therefore they wanted to hear the purport of VedÄnta philosophy from Him.
