Significado

Lord Caitanya always offered respects to Advaita Prabhu as He would to His father because Advaita was even older than His father; yet Advaita Prabhu always considered Himself a servant of Lord Caitanya. Śrī Advaita Prabhu and Īśvara Purī, Lord Caitanya’s spiritual master, were both disciples of Mādhavendra Purī, who was also the spiritual master of Nityānanda Prabhu. Thus Advaita Prabhu, as Lord Caitanya’s spiritual uncle, was always to be respected because one should respect one’s spiritual master’s Godbrothers as one respects one’s spiritual master. Because of all these considerations, Śrī Advaita Prabhu was superior to Lord Caitanya, yet Advaita Prabhu considered Himself Lord Caitanya’s subordinate.

Śrī Caitanya siempre ofrecía respeto a Advaita Prabhu, como lo haría con Su padre, porque Advaita era incluso mayor que Su padre; sin embargo, Advaita Prabhu siempre Se consideró a sí mismo un sirviente de Śrī Caitanya. Śrī Advaita Prabhu e Īśvara Purī, el maestro espiritual de Śrī Caitanya, eran discípulos de Mādhavendra Purī, que fue también el maestro espiritual de Nityānanda Prabhu. Así pues, Advaita Prabhu, como tío espiritual de Śrī Caitanya, había de ser respetado siempre, porque se debe respetar a los hermanos espirituales del propio maestro espiritual tanto como se respeta al maestro espiritual. Teniendo en cuenta todas estas consideraciones, Śrī Advaita Prabhu era superior a Śrī Caitanya, pero sin embargo, Advaita Prabhu Se consideraba un subordinado de Śrī Caitanya.
