Sri Caitanya-caritamrta Lectures

Now if we try to find out our father and father's property by the ritualistic process—there are ritualistic process in every religion and in every scripture—but if we stick to that, then the result will be they will be entrapped by such fanaticism, and it will be not possible to make progress.

So Lord Caitanya says . . . Lord Caitanya in the shape of that astrologer says that if you follow—the figurative; it is given figurative—that he is searching after the wealth left by his father. Similarly, we have got our father, the Supreme, and He is the supreme proprietor of everything. Now if we try to find out our father and father's property by the ritualistic process—there are ritualistic process in every religion and in every scripture—but if we stick to that, then the result will be they will be entrapped by such fanaticism, and it will be not possible to make progress.

This is called dakṣiṇa system. Dakṣiṇa, dakṣiṇa means if you . . . he is giving him instruction that, "Your house is bounded by east side, west side, north side and south side. So if you go to the south . . ." south is translated into Sanskrit, dakṣiṇa. And dakṣiṇa also means giving something to the priest in respect of his service for performing rituals.

So this is figuratively being used, dakṣiṇa. Dakṣiṇa means priesthood. If you follow the priesthood, then the result will be that 'bhīmarula-barulī' uṭhibe, dhana nā pāibe: "There are some poisonous insects which will bite you, and you will not be able to dig out the wealth left by your father."

So this poisonous effect is that the priesthood, they are for business. They will never give you the right thing, not it is in their power. Not it is in their power. That is going on. But if you find out . . . if you want to find out the Absolute Truth through this rituals and priesthood, then the result will be that you will be bitten by some poisonous, I mean to say, insect, and your attempt will be unsuccessful. Paścime. Paścime khudibe.
