On the bank of the Godāvarī two met — Mahāprabhu and Rāya Rāmānanda. And the first thing Mahāprabhu asks is not "tell Me what you think about the goal of life," but "recite a verse." The difference is vast. Where the highest is concerned, my opinion weighs nothing: not "it seems to me," not "I feel" — but what scripture says. So the whole conversation opens: not as a clash of egos but verse by verse, pramāṇa by pramāṇa. Even great Rāmānanda answers not from himself — he cites the śāstra. And the right answer? Mahāprabhu does not hurry: we learn it on the next rung.
