Bhaktivedanta VedaBase: Śrī Caitanya Caritāmrita Antya 8.21
"tumi — pūrna-brahmānanda, karaha smarana
brahmavit hańā kene karaha rodana?"
SYNONYMS
tumi — you; pūrna-brahma-ānanda — full in transcendental bliss; karaha smarana — you should remember; brahma-vit hańā — 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-bhūtah prasannātmā: [Bg. 18.54] a Brahman realized person is always happy. Na śocati na kāńkshati: 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.
