He never touched anything to wear except a small torn cloth and a patchwork wrapper. Thus he very rigidly executed the order of ÅšrÄ« Caitanya MahÄprabhu.
The principle of very rigidly carrying out the order of the spiritual master must be observed. The spiritual master gives different orders to different people. For example, ÅšrÄ« Caitanya MahÄprabhu ordered JÄ«va GosvÄmÄ«, RÅ«pa GosvÄmÄ« and SanÄtana GosvÄmÄ« to preach, and He ordered RaghunÄtha dÄsa GosvÄmÄ« to strictly follow the rules and regulations of the renounced order. All six GosvÄmÄ«s strictly followed the instructions of ÅšrÄ« Caitanya MahÄprabhu. This is the principle for progress in devotional service. After receiving an order from the spiritual master, one must strictly try to execute the order. That is the way of success.
