rÄyera ghare prabhura 'ká¹›pÄ-vivarta' kahila
bhakta-vÄtsalya-guṇa yÄte vyakta haila
rÄyera - of BhavÄnanda RÄya; ghare - at the home; prabhura - of ÅšrÄ« Caitanya MahÄprabhu; ká¹›pÄ-vivarta - mercy appearing as something else; kahila - spoke; bhakta-vÄtsalya-guṇa - the quality of being very affectionate to the devotees; yÄte - in which; vyakta haila - was revealed.
Thus the mercy of ÅšrÄ« Caitanya MahÄprabhu was spoken of in the family of BhavÄnanda RÄya. That mercy was clearly demonstrated, although it appeared to be something different.
The result of advancement in spiritual knowledge is not material improvement, but ÅšrÄ« Caitanya MahÄprabhu advised GopÄ«nÄtha Paá¹á¹anÄyaka how to use material opulence without incurring reactions to sinful life. From this advice, it appeared that the Lord encouraged GopÄ«nÄtha Paá¹á¹anÄyaka to enhance his material condition. Actually, however, He did not. In fact, this was but a manifestation of His great affection for His devotee.
