Comparisons .
There can be said to be comparisons between the teachings of Sri Caitanya Mahāprabhu and Jesus on numerous different levels . One of the most important points is that both teachings bring clarity in terms of who can access the mercy of God . Those who follow smarta Brahminical classes or Zionism are badly mistaken in their perversions and interpretations of theological texts . Humble, truthful persons can access the self-evident truth of the equality of all beings as well they know that God does not define people by caste , colour , creed or religion, only the unthinking and ignorant would say He does .
The unintelligent Zionist and the smarta Brahminical classes seek to tell God who he can extend his mercy and love to , and these so very proud fellows think its them and exclusively them . Srila AC Bhavtivedanta Swami Prabhupada , the founder of ISKCON, said to one disciple who wanted to discard a person from ISKCON, ” You do not know the extent of the mercy of Lord Nityananda prabhu “.
Sri Caitanya Mahāprabhu points out the true meaning and purposes of the Vedas , “by the Vedas I am to be known ” says Krishna, similarly Jesus told his critics who thought they understood the old testament that “what you look for in the scriptures I present to you ,I am what you study ” He said he is creating people of Israel. Israel is a term used as a “holy consciousness, ” and not a ” tract of land.” In Gaudiya Vaisnavism’s teachings, Vrndavana is a state of mind , similarly “Israel ” consciousness is signifying pure God consciousness, the first symptoms are self-evident truth of the equality of all beings as spiritual beings, who can access Divinity.
Of course, both Vrndavana and Israel are also holy lands , that’s because Divinity brought the spiritual realms to such lands , but to understand the holy land, one requires holy consciousness.
The smarta Brahminical classes and the Zionist fall short and identify with a body, not a soul , as such, they are to be ignored.
