TRANSLATION
"Even if your body were material, I still could not neglect it, for the material body should be considered neither good nor bad.
PURPORT
Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu told Sanatana Gosvami, "Since you are a Vaisnava, your body is spiritual, not material. Therefore you should not consider this body to be subjected to superior or inferior qualities. Moreover, I am a sannyasi. Therefore even if your body were material, a sannyasi should see no distinction between a good body and a bad body.
