IN the course of his pilgrimage through the
southern parts of India, Sri Chaitanya Deva came
across a certain devotee who was in tears all the
while a pundit was reading from the Gita. Now
this devotee knew not even a single word of the
Gita. On being asked why lie shed tears, he replied,
"It is indeed true that I do not know a word of the
Gita. But all the while it was being read, 1 could
not help seeing with my inner eye the beautiful
form of my Lord Sri Krishna seated before Arjuna
in a chariot in the field of Kurukshetra, and giving
out all those sublime thoughts embodied in the
Gita. This it was that filled my eyes with tears of
joy and love."
This man who knew not letters, had the highest
Knowledge, for he had pure love for God and
could realize Him.
