TEXT 21

"tumi—pūrṇa-brahmānanda, karaha smaraṇa
brahmavit hañā kene karaha rodana?"


SYNONYMS

tumi—you; pūrṇa-brahma-ānanda—full in transcendental bliss; karaha smaraṇa—you should remember; brahma-vit hañā—being fully aware of Brahman; kene—why; karaha rodana—are you crying.


TRANSLATION

"If you are in full transcendental bliss," he said, "you should now remember only Brahman. Why are you crying?"


PURPORT

As stated in the Bhagavad-gītā, brahma-bhūtaḥ prasannātmā: (BG 18.54) a Brahman realized person is always happy. Na śocati na kāṅkṣati: he neither laments nor aspires for anything. Not knowing why Mādhavendra Purī was crying, Rāmacandra Purī tried to become his advisor. Thus he committed a great offense, for a disciple should never try to instruct his spiritual master.
