TRANSLATION
Ramananda Raya continued, "The Supersoul within everyone's heart speaks not externally but from within. He instructs the devotees in all respects, and that is His way of instruction."
PURPORT
Here Sri Ramananda Raya admits that Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu is the Supersoul. It is the Supersoul that inspires the devotee; therefore He is the original source of the Gayatri mantra which states, om bhur bhuvah svah tat savitur varenyam bhargo devasya dhimahi dhiyo yo nah pracodayat. Savitar is the original source of all intelligence. That savitar is Lord Caitanya Mahaprabhu. This is confirmed in Srimad-Bhagavatam (2.4.22):
pracodita yena pura sarasvati
vitanvatajasya satim smrtim hrdi sva-laksana pradurabhut kilasyatah sa me rsinam rsabhah prasidatam "May the Lord, who in the beginning of the creation amplified the potent knowledge of Brahma from within his heart and inspired him with full knowledge of creation and His own self, and who appeared to be generated from the mouth of Brahma, be pleased with me." This was spoken by Sukadeva Gosvami when he invoked the blessing of the Supreme Personality of Godhead before delivering Srimad-Bhagavatam to Maharaja Pariksit.
