'vedÄnta' Å›ravaṇa kara, nÄ yÄiha tÄá¹…ra pÄÅ›a
ucchṛṅkhala-loka-saá¹…ge dui-loka-nÄÅ›a"
vedÄnta - the philosophy of VedÄnta; Å›ravaṇa kara - go on hearing; nÄ - do not; yÄiha - go; tÄá¹…ra pÄÅ›a - near Him; ucchṛṅkhala - upstart; loka - people; saá¹…ge - in the association of; dui-loka-nÄÅ›a - destruction in this world and the next.
“Do not go to see Caitanya. Just continue hearing VedÄnta. If you associate with upstarts, you will be lost in this world and in the next.â€
The word ucchṛṅkhala, meaning “whimsical,†is significant in this verse. In the Bhagavad-gÄ«tÄ (16.23), Lord Kṛṣṇa Himself says:
yaḥ Å›Ästra-vidhim utsá¹›jya vartate kÄma-kÄrataḥ
na sa siddhim avÄpnoti na sukhaá¹ na parÄá¹ gatim
“If one acts whimsically and does not follow the Å›Ästric principles, he will never attain perfection, happiness or the spiritual world.â€
