Thought Of The Day

Prabhupada: Guru more murkha dekhi' karila sasana [Cc. Adi 7.71]. Caitanya Mahaprabhu also presented Himself as idiot number one. He said to Prakasananda Sarasvati. Prakasananda Sarasvati asked Him that "You are a sannyasi. You do not read Vedanta and You chant and dance. What is this?" So He answered, guru more murkha dekhi' karila sasana. "My guru found Me a fool number one, so he has chastised Me, 'You rascal, You are fool, You cannot read Vedanta. You Chant Hare Krsna.' " So it is good that we remain as fools and idiot. Then we can make progress. And if we think, "Oh, I know everything," then finished. It is a good attitude. Guru more murkha dekhi' karila sasana.
