# Cc. Madhya 17.121 > ‘বেদান্ত’ শ্রবণ কর, না যাইহ তাঁর পাশ । > উচ্ছৃঙ্খল-লোক-সঙ্গে দুইলোক-নাশ ।।” ১২১ ।। ॥১২১॥ ## Text > 'vedānta' śravaṇa kara, nā yāiha tāṅra pāśa > ucchṛṅkhala-loka-saṅge dui-loka-nāśa" ## Synonyms *vedānta*—the philosophy of Vedānta; *śravaṇa kara*—go on hearing; *nā*—do not; *yāiha*—go; *tāṅra pāśa*—near Him; *ucchṛṅkhala*—upstart; *loka*—people; *saṅge*—in the association of; *dui-loka-nāśa*—destruction in this world and the next. ## Translation **"Do not go to see Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu. Just continue hearing Vedānta. If you associate with upstarts, you will be lost in this world and in the next."** ## Purport The word *ucchṛṅkhala,* meaning "whimsical," is significant in this verse. In *Bhagavad-gītā* [[bg/16/23|(Bg. 16.23)]], Lord Kṛṣṇa Himself says: > yaḥ śāstra-vidhim utsṛjya > vartate kāma-kārataḥ > na sa siddhim avāpnoti > na sukhaṁ na parāṁ gatim If one acts whimsically and does not follow the śāstric principles, he will never attain perfection, happiness or the spiritual world.
