Bhaktivedanta VedaBase: Śrī Caitanya Caritāmrita Ādi 1.92
tāra madhye moksha-vāńchā kaitava-pradhāna
yāhā haite krishna-bhakti haya antardhāna
SYNONYMS
tāra — of them; madhye — in the midst; moksha-vāńchā — the desire to merge into the Supreme; kaitava — of cheating processes; pradhāna — the chief; yāhā haite — from which; krishna-bhakti — devotion to Lord Krishna; haya — becomes; antardhāna — disappearance.
TRANSLATION
The foremost process of cheating is to desire to achieve liberation by merging into the Supreme, for this causes the permanent disappearance of loving service to Krishna.
PURPORT
The desire to merge into the impersonal Brahman is the subtlest type of atheism. As soon as such atheism, disguised in the dress of liberation, is encouraged, one becomes completely unable to traverse the path of devotional service to the Supreme Personality of Godhead.
