Text

“Despite directly perceiving the symptoms of the Supreme Lord in the body of ÅšrÄ« Caitanya MahÄprabhu, you cannot understand Him. This is commonly called illusion.

Purport

GopÄ«nÄtha Ä€cÄrya is pointing out that SÄrvabhauma Bhaá¹­á¹­ÄcÄrya had already seen uncommon symptoms of ecstasy in the body of ÅšrÄ« Caitanya MahÄprabhu.

These uncommon symptoms of ecstatic love indicated the Supreme Person, but despite having seen all these symptoms, the Bhaá¹­á¹­ÄcÄrya could not understand the Lord’s transcendental nature. He was considering the Lord’s pastimes to be mundane. This was certainly due to illusion.
