prabhu kahe, — māyāvādī āmi ta' sannyāsī
bhakti-tattva nāhi jāni, māyāvāde bhāsi

 prabhu kahe - the Lord said; māyāvādī - a follower of the Māyāvāda philosophy; āmi - I; ta' - certainly; sannyāsī - one in the renounced order of life; bhakti-tattva - the truths of transcendental loving service; nāhi - not; jāni - I know; māyāvāde - in the philosophy of impersonalism; bhāsi - I float.


Text

Lord Caitanya Mahāprabhu said, “I am a Māyāvādī in the renounced order of life, and I do not even know what transcendental loving service to the Lord is. I simply float in the ocean of Māyāvāda philosophy.
