”Lord Caitanya meets the illiterate brahmana in the Temple of Ranganatha.”
While Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu was touring in the southern India, in the Ranganātha temple He saw one brāhmaṇa. He was reading Bhagavad-gītā. So many persons were coming and criticizing him, “Well, brāhmaṇa, how you are reading Bhagavad-gītā?” So he did not reply. So Caitanya Mahāprabhu approached him and He saw the brāhmaṇa was reading Bhagavad-gītā and tears gliding down. So He could understand that “Here is a pure devotee.” So He asked him, “Well, brāhmaṇa, what you are reading?” So he said, “Sir, I cannot read. I am illiterate. I am illiterate and I cannot read what is Bhagavad-gītā, especially Sanskrit.” His neighbors were criticizing him. They knew that “This brāhmaṇa is illiterate, and he is making a show of reading Bhagavad-gītā.” So they were criticizing. But Caitanya Mahāprabhu, He could understand that “Here is a pure devotee.”
So He asked him that “What you are reading?” He said frankly, “Sir, I cannot read. I have no education. Illiterate.” “Then? It appears that you are reading something. And if you are illiterate, why you are reading Bhagavad-gītā?” “No, my Guru Mahārāja said. He knew that I am illiterate, but still, my Guru Mahārāja said that ‘You read every day the ślokas of Bhagavad-gītā.’ So on account of his order, although I do not know anything what is written there, I am trying to read.” “Oh, that’s very nice. You are carrying the order of your Guru Mahārāja. But it appears that you are crying also. How you are crying if you cannot read?” “Yes, Sir, that’s… Because as soon as I take this Bhagavad-gītā in my hand I see the picture that Arjuna is asking Kṛṣṇa to place his chariot in the warfield, and Kṛṣṇa is driving the chariot by his order. So this is creating some feeling in me: ‘Oh, Kṛṣṇa is so kind, so nice, that although He is the Supreme Personality of Godhead, He is carrying the order of His devotee as servant.’ When I feel this, I cry: ‘Oh, how Kṛṣṇa is kind. How Kṛṣṇa is merciful.’ ” So immediately Caitanya Mahāprabhu embraced him: “You are reading Bhagavad-gītā. It is not the literacy or education or knowing grammar and putting jugglery of words. That is not reading. If one feels what is the purport of Bhagavad-gītā, that is reading Bhagavad-gītā.”
