Translation

Traducción

Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu was never pleased to hear books or verses opposed to the conclusive statements of devotional service. The Lord did not like hearing rasābhāsa, the overlapping of transcendental mellows.

Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu nunca Se mostraba complacido de escuchar libros o versos que se opusieran a las conclusiones del servicio devocional. Al Señor no le gustaba escuchar rasābhāsa, la superposición de melosidades trascendentales.

Significado

Bhakti-siddhānta-viruddha refers to that which is against the principle of unity in diversity, philosophically known as acintya-bhedābheda — simultaneous oneness and difference — whereas rasābhāsa is something that may appear to be a transcendental mellow but actually is not. Those who are pure Vaiṣṇavas should avoid both these things opposed to devotional service. These misconceptions practically parallel the Māyāvāda philosophy. If one indulges in Māyāvāda philosophy, he gradually falls down from the platform of devotional service. By overlapping mellows (rasābhāsa) one eventually becomes a prākṛta-sahajiyā and takes everything to be very easy. One may also become a member of the bāula community and gradually become attracted to material activities. Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu has therefore advised us to avoid bhakti-siddhānta-viruddha and rasābhāsa. In this way the devotee can remain pure and free from falldowns. Everyone should try to remain aloof from bhakti-siddhānta-viruddha and rasābhāsa.

Bhakti-siddhānta-viruddha se refiere a lo que es contrario al principio de unidad en la diversidad, filosóficamente conocido con el nombre de acintya-bhedābheda, la unidad y diferencia simultáneas, mientras que rasābhāsa indica algo que, aunque pueda parecer una melosidad trascendental, en realidad no lo es. Los que son vaiṣṇavas puros deben evitar ambas cosas, que son contrarias al servicio devocional. Esos conceptos erróneos son prácticamente paralelos a la filosofía māyāvāda. Quien hace concesiones a la filosofía māyāvāda, poco a poco cae del plano del servicio devocional. Quien incurre en superposición de melosidades (rasābhāsa) acaba por volverse un prākṛta-sahajiyā y lo toma todo a la ligera. También puede pasar a formar parte de la comunidad bāula e irse sintiendo cada vez más atraído por las actividades materiales. Por esa razón, Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu nos aconseja que evitemos bhakti-siddhānta-viruddha y rasābhāsa. De ese modo, el devoto puede mantenerse puro y no caer de su posición. Todos deben tratar de mantenerse apartados de bhakti-siddhānta-viruddha y de rasābhāsa.
