must be learned

 
Imported quote 19771
So Caitanya Mahaprabhu's movement is not on the bodily platform; it is on the spiritual platform. That He explained when He was talking with Rūpa Gosvami, er, Sanatana Gosvami, that what is the identity of this living entity. Or he said, "What is my identity? Actually, people address me as very learned man." He was very learned man. He was minister and was a brahmana. Naturally in those days he knew Sanskrit very well and Urdu, because Muhammadan kingdom, the Urdu language was state language, just like during British period the state language was English. So he was quite conversant with these two languages, Urdu, Parsi, and Sanskrit. So he first of all submitted to Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu, "My dear Lord, people address me as panditji." The brahmanas are generally addressed still in India as panditji, means learned. Because brahmana means learned. A brahmana cannot be mūrkhaji. That is not possible. Brahmana means brahma janatiti brahmanaḥ. One who knows the Absolute Truth, he becomes brahmana; therefore he is addressed as panditji. So Sanatana Gosvami submitted that "These ordinary people address me as very learned man, panditji. But I know my position. I do not know myself, what I am. This is my position." Gramya-vyavahare kaha ei panḍita satya kori mani: "These fools calls me as panḍita, and I also think that I am panḍita, but actually I do not know what I am."    (More...)
