# Cc. Ādi 7.51 > তোমারে নিন্দয়ে যত সন্ন্যাসীর গণ । > শুনিতে না পারি, ফাটে হৃদয়-শ্রবণ ॥৫১॥ ## Text > tomāre nindaye yata sannyāsīra gaṇa > śunite nā pāri, phāṭe hṛdaya-śravaṇa ## Synonyms *tomāre*—unto You; *nindaye*—blasphemes; *yata*—all; *sannyāsīra gaṇa*—the Māyāvādī *sannyāsīs*; *śunite*—to hear; *nā*—cannot; *pāri*—tolerate; *phāṭe*—it breaks; *hṛdaya*—our hearts; *śravaṇa*—while hearing such blasphemy. ## Translation **"The Māyāvādī sannyāsīs are all criticizing Your Holiness. We cannot tolerate hearing such criticism, for this blasphemy breaks our hearts."** ## Purport This is a manifestation of real love for Kṛṣṇa and Lord Caitanya Mahāprabhu. There are three categories of Vaiṣṇavas: *kaniṣṭha-adhikārīs, madhyama-adhikārīs* and *uttama-adhikārīs.* The *kaniṣṭha-adhikārī,* or the devotee in the lowest stage of Vaiṣṇava life, has firm faith but is not familiar with the conclusions of the *śāstras.* The devotee in the second stage, the *madhyama-adhikārī,* is completely aware of the śāstric conclusion and has firm faith in his *guru* and the Lord. He, therefore, avoiding nondevotees, preaches to the innocent. However, the *mahā-bhāgavata* or *uttama-adhikārī,* the devotee in the highest stage of devotional life, does not see anyone as being against the Vaiṣṇava principles, for he regards everyone as a Vaiṣṇava but himself. This is the essence of Caitanya Mahāprabhu's instruction that one be more tolerant than a tree and think oneself lower than the straw in the street (*tṛṇād api su-nīcena taror iva sahiṣṇunā*). However, even if a devotee is in the *uttama-bhāgavata* status he must come down to the second status of life, *madhyama-adhikārī,* to be a preacher, for a preacher should not tolerate blasphemy against another Vaiṣṇava. Although a *kaniṣṭha-adhikārī* also cannot tolerate such blasphemy, he is not competent to stop it by citing śāstric evidences. Therefore Tapana Miśra and Candraśekhara are understood to be *kaniṣṭha-adhikārīs* because they could not refute the arguments of the *sannyāsīs* in Benares. They appealed to Lord Caitanya Mahāprabhu to take action, for they felt that they could not tolerate such criticism although they also could not stop it.
