TRANSLATION

"Thus I expounded the Yoga-vasistha, which considers liberation the ultimate goal of life. For this the Lord became angry at Me and treated Me with apparent disrespect.

PURPORT

There is a book of the name Yoga-vasistha that Mayavadis greatly favor because it is full of impersonal misunderstandings regarding the Supreme Personality of Godhead, with no touch of Vaisnavism. Factually, all Vaisnavas should avoid such a book, but Advaita Acarya Prabhu, wanting punishment from the Lord, began to support the impersonal statements of the Yoga-vasistha. Thus Lord Caitanya Mahaprabhu became extremely angry at Him and seemingly treated Him disrespectfully.
