# Cc. Ādi 7.148 > বেদময়-মূর্তি তুমি, — সাক্ষাৎ নারায়ণ । > ক্ষম অপরাধ, — পূর্বে যে কৈলুঁ নিন্দন ॥১৪৮॥ ## Text > vedamaya-mūrti tumi,—sākṣāt nārāyaṇa > kṣama aparādha,—pūrve ye kailuṅ nindana ## Synonyms *veda-maya*—transformation of the Vedic knowledge; *mūrti*—form; *tumi*—You; *sākṣāt*—directly; *nārāyaṇa*—the Supreme Personality of Godhead; *kṣama*—excuse; *aparādha*—offense; *pūrve*—before; *ye*—that; *kailuṅ*—we have done; *nindana*—criticism. ## Translation **"Dear sir, You are Vedic knowledge personified and are directly Nārāyaṇa Himself. Kindly excuse us for the offenses we previously committed by criticizing You."** ## Purport The complete path of *bhakti-yoga* is based upon the process of becoming humble and submissive. By the grace of Lord Caitanya Mahāprabhu, all the Māyāvādī *sannyāsīs* were very humble and submissive after hearing His explanation of the *Vedānta-sūtra,* and they begged to be pardoned for the offenses they had committed by criticizing the Lord for simply chanting and dancing and not taking part in the study of the *Vedānta-sūtra.* We are propagating the Kṛṣṇa consciousness movement simply by following in the footsteps of Lord Caitanya Mahāprabhu. We may not be very well versed in the *Vedānta-sūtra* aphorisms and may not understand their meaning, but we follow in the footsteps of the *ācāryas,* and because of our strictly and obediently following in the footsteps of Lord Caitanya Mahāprabhu, it is to be understood that we know everything regarding the *Vedānta-sūtra.*
