After Shri Chaitanya was initiated by Isvara Puri in Gaya, he became a God-intoxicated person, completely different from the proud scholar that he had appeared in Navadhipa. Now in his school of Sanskrit grammar to taught that every word meant Krishna. He spoke out of his ecstatic love for Krishna, and his holy name and his service: As soon as the Lord returned from taking bath in the Ganges, His students would assemble there./ The Lord did not explain anything other than Krsna, so the students could not understand anything./ By the students request, the Lord began to reveal the glories of the Supreme Lord to them./ The students opened their books while chanting the name of Hari. The son of mother Saci was greatly pleased to hear this./ On hearing the name of Hari, the Lord lost all external consciousness. Then the jewel of the twice-born cast His merciful glance on everyone there./ Being fully absorbed in Krishna, the Lord explained the names of Hari in all the sütras, aphorisms, and commentaries. The Lord said, The holy names of Krsna are the eternal Truth. All scriptures explain Krsna and nothing else./ Krsna is the supreme controller, the creator, the maintainer, and the annihilator. Everyone beginning from Lord Brahma and Lord Siva is His servant./ The life of anyone who gives up the lotus feet of Krsna and explains things as separate from Him is useless as a result of his false statements./ The philosophies in all scriptures headed by the agamas and Vedanta describe the wealth of devotion to the lotus feet of Krsna./ Teachers bewildered by the illusory energy of Krsna give up the devotional service of Krsna and take to other paths./ Lord Krsna is the ocean of mercy, the life and soul of the universe, the lover of His servants, and the darling son of the cowherd Nanda./ Even if one studies all the scriptures, if he has no affection or inclination for the name of Krsna, he is certainly degraded./ If a poor fallen person takes to chanting the holy names of Krsna, he attains the abode of Krsna in spite of having many faults./ This is the purport of all scriptures. Anyone who doubts this fact suffers. Anyone who explains the scriptures without referring to the worship of Krsna is a fallen soul who does not know the purport of the scriptures./ Those who do not know the purport of the scriptures yet teach them to others are simply like asses, carrying the load of the scriptures./ The Lord awarded liberation to Putana, yet people still leave aside Krsna to meditate on others./ For what happiness will someone give up the glorification of He who delivered the most sinful Aghasura?/ The entire world is purified by the name of Krsna, yet wretched living entities abstain from chanting His glories./ Even the demigods headed by Brahma are overwhelmed by Krsnas festivals, yet people give up such festivals and take pleasure in inauspicious dancing and singing./ The holy names of Krsna delivered Ajamila, yet those who are intoxicated by wealth, good birth, and education do not know Him. O brothers, please hear My truthful statement. Worship the invaluable wealth of Krsnas lotus feet./ O brothers, may you all desire to attain the same lotus feet that Laksmi desires to serve, the same lotus feet by whose worship Lord Siva has became known as a pure servant, and the same lotus feet from which the Ganges emanated./ Who in Navadvipa has the power to refute My explanations before Me? Visvambhara is the Supreme Brahman and the personification of transcendental sound, therefore whatever He explains is the supreme truth./ The students were captivated as they heard the Lords explanations with undivided attention, and the Lord also became overwhelmed while He explained the Truth./ The students were captivated as they heard the Lords explanations with undivided attention, and the Lord also became overwhelmed while He explained the Truth. [ Chaitanya B hagavat Madhya-khanda 1.142-170]
