Commentary: Gauḍīya-bhāṣya by Śrīla Bhaktisiddhānta Sarasvatī Ṭhākura:
One should discuss the following two verses from Śrī Caitanya- candrāmṛta (90 and 85) in this regard: “Dear gentlemen, you should renounce all your mentally concocted honesty and religious principles that are averse to the devotional service of Gaura-Kṛṣṇa and be attached to the lotus feet of Śrī Caitanya. Give up all your useless absorption in fruitive activities! Don’t allow a single word concerning self-worship enter your ears! Don’t be illusioned by your temporary material body,
house, country, and relatives. Then only will you attain the crest-jewel of all human goals.”
