“You are a sannyāsī. Why then do You indulge in chanting and dancing, engaging in Your saṅkīrtana movement in the company of fanatics?

<div class="text">
This is a challenge by Prakāśānanda Sarasvatī to Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu. Śrīla Bhaktisiddhānta Sarasvatī Ṭhākura writes in his Anubhāṣya that Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu, who is the object of Vedānta philosophical research, has very kindly determined who is an appropriate candidate for study of Vedānta philosophy. The first qualification of such a candidate is expressed by Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu in His Śikṣāṣṭaka:

<div class="quote_verse">
:tṛṇād api su-nīcena taror iva sahiṣṇunā 
:amāninā māna-dena kīrtanīyaḥ sadā hariḥ
</div>

([[Vanisource:CC Adi 17.31|CC Adi 17.31]])
