GopÄ«nÄtha Ä€cÄrya reminded SÄrvabhauma Bhaá¹­á¹­ÄcÄrya, “My dear Bhaá¹­á¹­ÄcÄrya, what I foretold to you has now taken place.â€

Purport

Previously GopÄ«nÄtha Ä€cÄrya had informed SÄrvabhauma Bhaá¹­á¹­ÄcÄrya that when he would be blessed by the Lord he would thoroughly understand the transcendental process of devotional service. This prediction was now fulfilled. The Bhaá¹­á¹­ÄcÄrya was fully converted to the cult of Vaiṣṇavism, and he was following the principles automatically, without being pressured. In the Bhagavad-gÄ«tÄ (2.40) it is therefore said, sv-alpam apy asya dharmasya trÄyate mahato bhayÄt: “Simply by performing a little devotional service, one can escape the greatest danger.†SÄrvabhauma Bhaá¹­á¹­ÄcÄrya had been in the greatest danger because he had adhered to MÄyÄvÄda philosophy. Somehow or other he came into contact with Lord ÅšrÄ« Caitanya MahÄprabhu and became a perfect devotee. In this way he was saved from the great falldown of impersonalism.
