Text

Caitanya MahÄprabhu then quoted, “ ‘The Supreme Personality of Godhead, Kṛṣṇa, the son of mother YaÅ›odÄ, is accessible to those devotees engaged in spontaneous loving service, but He is not as easily accessible to mental speculators, to those striving for self-realization by severe austerities and penances, or to those who consider the body the same as the self.’
