He too was a man of great learning, a man of great strength and ability. But because negative qualities were strong in him, all his strength and ability came to nothing.
The good counsel a mother gave Caitanya
Once Caitanya Mahāprabhu went to his mother: “Mother! I am going away for my studies. Give me leave,” he begged. Then she: “My son! In this world there are many kinds of learning. But all of them come to an end some day; they do not lead to growth. All worldly learning is bound by limited measures. Spiritual learning alone is true learning. It has no limit. It has no death. It shines on, true and eternal. Take up that learning,” she taught him. That is why Caitanya went on ceaselessly chanting Kṛṣṇa's name and spreading the principle of Kṛṣṇa village after village, street after street.
What gift is greater than the gift of food? What god is there above mother and father? What truthful life is there beyond japa and tapas? What Dharma is higher than compassion? Consider: what gain surpasses the company of the good? What enmity is worse than anger? What disease is worse for men than debt? What death on earth is worse than ill fame? What wealth is ever greater than fame? What ornament surpasses remembrance?
We must put enmity far from us and foster friendship. This is the learning most needed of all today.
