Translation

Traducción

Hearing this, the Māyāvādī sannyāsīs became somewhat humble and addressed Caitanya Mahāprabhu as Nārāyaṇa Himself, who they all agreed He was.

Al oír esto, los sannyāsīs māyāvādīs se volvieron un poco humildes, y se dirigieron a Caitanya Mahāprabhu como al mismo Nārāyaṇa, quien, según la opinión de todos, era Él.

Significado

Māyāvādī sannyāsīs address each other as Nārāyaṇa. Whenever they see another sannyāsī, they offer him respect by calling oṁ namo nārāyaṇāya (“I offer my respect unto you, Nārāyaṇa”), although they know perfectly well what kind of Nārāyaṇa he is. Nārāyaṇa has four hands, but although they are puffed up with the idea of being Nārāyaṇa, they cannot exhibit more than two. Since their philosophy declares that Nārāyaṇa and an ordinary human being are on the same level, they sometimes use the term daridra-nārāyaṇa (“poor Nārāyaṇa”), which was invented by a so-called svāmī who did not know anything about Vedānta philosophy. Therefore although all these Māyāvādī sannyāsīs who called themselves Nārāyaṇa were actually unaware of the position of Nārāyaṇa, due to their austerities Lord Caitanya Mahāprabhu enabled them to understand Him to be Nārāyaṇa Himself. Lord Caitanya is certainly the Supreme Personality of Godhead Nārāyaṇa appearing as a devotee of Nārāyaṇa, and thus the Māyāvādī sannyāsīs, understanding that He was directly Nārāyaṇa Himself whereas they were false, puffed-up Nārāyaṇas, spoke to Him as follows.

Los sannyāsīs māyāvādīs se dirigen unos a otros como Nārāyaṇa. Cada vez que ven a otro sannyāsī le presentan sus respetos diciéndole oṁ namo nārāyaṇâya («Te ofrezco mis respetos a Ti, Nārāyaṇa»), aunque saben perfectamente a qué clase de Nārāyaṇa están hablando. Nārāyaṇa tiene cuatro brazos, pero aunque estén engreídos con la idea de ser Nārāyaṇa, no pueden mostrar más que dos. Puesto que su filosofía declara que Nārāyaṇa y el ser humano corriente están en el mismo nivel, a veces emplean la expresión daridra-nārāyaṇa (Nārāyaṇa pobre), inventada por un supuesto svāmī que no sabía nada de la filosofía vedānta. Por tanto, aunque todos estos sannyāsīs māyāvādīs que se llamaban a sí mismos Nārāyaṇa no sabían realmente cuál es la posición de Nārāyaṇa, debido a sus austeridades, Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu les dio la posibilidad de comprender que Él era Nārāyaṇa en persona. Sin duda, Śrī Caitanya es la Suprema Personalidad de Dios, Nārāyaṇa, bajo el aspecto de un devoto de Nārāyaṇa, y así, los sannyāsīs māyāvādīs, comprendiendo que Él era directamente Nārāyaṇa mismo, mientras que ellos eran falsos Nārāyaṇas engreídos, Le hablaron como sigue.
