Second Vaisistya
11. The sannyasis go and stay in the mountain caves,
But you, master, keep your sannyasis in marble mansions. 12. To see a sense enjoyer's face is just like drinking poison,
But you, master, are giving your darsana here and far away in foreign lands. 13. Mlecchas and yavanas are not allowed to enter Hindu temples,
But you, master, make them the chairman and sit them in the assembly. 14. To cross the ocean is not allowed for Hindus,
But you send your devotees across the ocean. 15. In Kali-yuga's cities the guru's instructions are "forbidden".
But you remain there anyway with your special purpose in mind. 16. The devotees want to go to some lonely place to perform their bhajan alone,
But you don't accept this in your judgement. 17. Where there is an increase in the measurement of people,
There your preaching work is to be seen. 18. You want to make a student hostel in London, and
You explain it must be nicely arranged. 19. In the land of barbarians, a student hostel for preaching 'Hari Katha'!
Who can understand all these things? 20. To mitigate all these contradictory ideas is not the trifling
Act of an inexpert and inexperienced person. Link to this page: https://prabhupadabooks.com/articles/22/ea_22-2_second_vaisistya Previous: EA 22-1: First Vaisistya Next: EA 22-3: Third Vaisistya
