not very understandable

When Caitanya Mahaprabhu was talking with Prakasananda Sarasvati, Prakasananda Sarasvati was very learned scholar and he knew that Caitanya Mahaprabhu was also very great scholar. So he was criticizing Him that "This sannyasi from Bengal who has come to Benares, He is simply chanting and dancing and does not give attention in the reading of Vedanta, so He is not a bona fide sannyasi. He is sentimental." He was thinking like that, but one brahmana, Maharashtria brahmana, he arranged a meeting with Prakasananda Sarasvati and Lord Caitanya. There was discussion. So Prakasananda Sarasvati inquired from Him that "You are a sannyasi. Instead of giving Your attention in the matter of reading Vedanta-sutra, Saṅkhya philosophy, what is this that You are chanting and dancing?" So Caitanya Mahaprabhu replied that "My guru found Me I am a fool number one, guru more murkha dekhi, I am not very much learned. So he said, My guru said, that 'You cannot read Vedanta-sutra.' " Actually Vedanta-sutra, Vedanta philosophy, is not meant for ordinary learned person. It requires great knowledge in Sanskrit language and philosophy. So He, Caitanya Mahaprabhu, took the part of ordinary person at the present moment that guru more murkha dekhi' karila sasana. Generally, people are not so learned that they can understand Vedanta-sutra. Therefore Caitanya Mahaprabhu, taking the part of the murkha society, the illiterate, ignorant society, He said that "I cannot read Vedanta-sutra. It is not possible. He advised Me to chant Hare Krsna, and I am doing that. And I am getting the result."
