You can expand the . . . explain very elaborately. That is another thing. But you cannot go beyond the ''sutra''.

Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu therefore says, ''māyāvādī bhāṣya sunile haya sarva nāśa'' ([[vanisource:CC Madhya 6.169|CC Madhya 6.169]]). ''Māyāvādī bhāṣya'' means Śaṅkara, ''Śārīraka-bhāṣya'' of the ''Brahma-sūtra.'' If you hear the ''Śārīraka-bhāṣya'', then you'll be doomed; it will be godless. Therefore it has been forbidden by Caitanya Mahāprabhu. All the Vaiṣṇava ''sampradāyas'', Rāmanujya ''sampradāya'', Madhvācārya ''sampradāya'', they all, I mean to say, disagree with the commentary of Śaṅkarācārya, ''Śārīraka-bhāṣya, Brahma-sūtra''.

So far we are concerned, Madhva-Gauḍīya ''sampradāya'', our ''ācāryas'', they took it, ''Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam'', as the right commentary on ''Brahma-sūtra. Bhāṣyaṁ brahma-sūtrānāṁ vedārtha-paribṛṁhitam.'' This ''Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam'' is the real ''bhāṣya'' of ''Brahma-sūtra''. So the Gauḍīya ''sampradāya'' did not make any commentary on the ''Brahma-sūtra'' because they took it, Caitanya Mahāprabhu took it, as ''Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam'', as a natural commentary, because ''Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam'' is also made by Vyāsadeva, and Vyāsadeva is the original author of ''Brahma-sūtra.'' So author made his own commentary, so there was no need of another commentary. This is the ''Gauḍīya-siddhānta, Gauḍīya-vaiṣṇava-siddhānta.''

But sometimes back, in Jaipur, there was a challenge that, "The Gauḍīya ''sampradāya'' has no commentary on the ''Vedānta-sūtra''." So at that time Viśvanātha Cakravartī Ṭhākura was requested . . . because he was grand scholar, grand old man scholar, at that time living at Vṛndāvana. So he was very old at that time; so he authorized Baladeva Vidyābhūṣana that, "You do it." There was no need, but people are demanding, "Where is your commentary on the ''Vedānta-sūtra''?" So Baladeva Vidyābhūṣana, with the order of Govindajī at Jaipur, he wrote the commentary on ''Brahma-sūtra''. That name is ''Govinda-bhāṣya''. So the Gauḍīya-Brahmā ''sampradāya'', they have got also commentary on ''Brahma-sūtra''. That is required.

So Kṛṣṇa has explicitly explained that ''brahma-sūtra-padaiś caiva hetumadbhir. Hetumadbhir viniścitaṁ.'' The ''Brahma-sūtra'' is called therefore ''nyāya-prasthāna'', with logic and reason; ''hetumadbhir'', cause and effect, everything. Because people like to understand on the basis of philosophy and reasoning everything. Yes. That is required.
