Caitanya Mahāprabhu knew that these cats and dogs, they are so degraded, they cannot understand what is the meaning of surrendering to Kṛṣṇa. They cannot understand. Therefore He said, eho bāhya, āge kaha āra (CC Madhya 8.59): "This is external. Please speak more, something effective." So when Rāmānanda Rāya said, jñāne prayāsam udapāsya namanta . . . this is a statement given by Brahmā.
- jñāne prayāsam udapāsya namanta eva
- . . . san-mukharitāṁ vārtām.., .bhavadīya-vārtām
- sthāne sthitāḥ śruti-gatāṁ tanu-vāṅ-manobhir
- ye prāyaśo 'jita jito 'py asi tais tri-lokyām
- (SB 10.14.3)
When he proposed this verse, Caitanya Mahāprabhu, "Yes, this is nice. This is nice." What is that meaning? That jñāne prayāsam udapāsya. "Because you are no better than an animal, so what is the value of your speculative knowledge?" Jñāne prayāsam: "Don't endeavor in this speculative way." Jñāne prayāsam udapāsya. "Give it up." Namanta eva: "Just become namra, humble, humble and meek." Lord Jesus Christ also said: "The kingdom of God is for the humble and meek."
So namanta eva san-mukharitāṁ bhavadīya-vārtām: "Just try to hear the message of God from realized soul." San-mukharitāṁ bhavadīya-vār . . . "Simply hear." Then sthāne sthitāḥ, "You remain in your position. It doesn't matter what you are. You remain in . . ." Sthāne sthitāḥ śruti-gatāṁ tanu-vāṅ-manobhiḥ. "Kindly give aural reception to the words, authoritative words, of Bhagavad-gītā, Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam, like that." Then . . . God is called Ajita. Nobody can conquer. Kṛṣṇa his . . . another name is Ajita. "He becomes jita, conquered, simply by hearing from him."
