# Cc. Ādi 17.9 > দীক্ষা-অনন্তরে হৈল, প্রেমের প্রকাশ । > দেশে আগমন পুনঃ প্রেমের বিলাস ॥৯॥ ## Text > dīkṣā-anantare haila, premera prakāśa > deśe āgamana punaḥ premera vilāsa ## Synonyms *dīkṣā*—initiation; *anantare*—immediately after; *haila*—became; *premera*—of love of Godhead; *prakāśa*—exhibition; *deśe*—in His home country; *āgamana*—coming back; *punaḥ*—again; *premera*—of love of God; *vilāsa*—enjoyment. ## Translation **In Gayā, Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu was initiated by Īśvara Purī, and immediately afterwards He exhibited signs of love of Godhead. He again displayed such symptoms after returning home.** ## Purport When Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu went to Gayā, accompanied by many of His disciples, He became sick on the way. He had such a high fever that He asked His students to bring water that had washed the feet of *brāhmaṇas,* and when they brought it the Lord drank it and was cured. Therefore everyone should respect the position of a *brāhmaṇa,* as indicated by Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu. Neither the Lord nor His followers displayed any disrespect to *brāhmaṇas.* The followers of the Lord must be prepared to offer *brāhmaṇas* all due respect. But preachers of Lord Caitanya's cult object if someone presents himself as a *brāhmaṇa* without having the necessary qualifications. The followers of Lord Caitanya cannot blindly accept that everyone born in a *brāhmaṇa* family is a *brāhmaṇa.* Therefore one should not indiscriminately follow the Lord's example of showing respect to *brāhmaṇas* by drinking water that has washed their feet. Gradually the *brāhmaṇa* families have become degraded because of the contamination of Kali-yuga. Thus they misguide people by exploiting their sentiments.
