Commentary: Gauḍīya-bhāṣya by Śrīla Bhaktisiddhānta Sarasvatī Ṭhākura:
After speaking in this way and considering the qualification of the audience, Śrī Gaurahari asked them, “Did you find any arrogance in My speech?” The devotees replied, “In Your statements You did not say anything unreasonable about gross and subtle designations. Generally every living entity is absorbed in temporary gross and subtle topics of this visible world. But Your words give eternal knowledge and bliss; they are the Absolute Truth without material designations.”
