“My dear Bhaá¹­á¹­ÄcÄrya, you do not know the greatness of Lord Caitanya MahÄprabhu. All the symptoms of the Supreme Personality of Godhead are found in Him to the highest degree.â€

Purport

Since the Bhaá¹­á¹­ÄcÄrya was an impersonalist, he had no idea of the Absolute Truth beyond the impersonal effulgence. However, GopÄ«nÄtha Ä€cÄrya informed him that Caitanya MahÄprabhu was the Supreme Personality of Godhead. Those who know the Absolute Truth know it in three phases, as explained in ÅšrÄ«mad-BhÄgavatam (1.2.11):

vadanti tat tattva-vidas tattvaá¹ yaj jñÄnam advayam
brahmeti paramÄtmeti bhagavÄn iti Å›abdyate

“Those who are in knowledge of the nondual Absolute Truth know very clearly what is Brahman, what is ParamÄtmÄ, and what is the Supreme Personality of Godhead.†The Supreme Personality of Godhead is á¹£aá¸-aiÅ›varya-pÅ«rṇa, complete with six opulences. GopÄ«nÄtha Ä€cÄrya emphasized that all those six opulences were completely existing in ÅšrÄ« Caitanya MahÄprabhu.
