Frog in the well !
Some aspiring vaisnavas are very offended when we preach to them about the importance of chanting 64 rounds as given by Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu.They are like frogs in the well , they think a reduced number of rounds is the same as 64 rounds or 120 rounds or 192 rounds.They blow themselves up in their tiny worlds that I am the Supreme Lord of my well Image may contain: text that says 'Everyday he shouts "Op op op..." resound around the well, making other small animals are frightened. Frog thought the tiny sky like alid and he is imposing as as Lord. OP... OP... OP.. OP...'
Chapter 16: The Divine and Demoniac Natures
TEXTS 13-15
idam adya maya labdham
imam prapsye manoratham
idam astidam api me
bhavisyati punar dhanam
asau maya hatah satrur
hanisye caparan api
isvaro 'ham aham bhogi
siddho 'ham balavan sukhi
adhyo 'bhijanavan asmi
ko 'nyo 'sti sadrso maya
yaksye dasyami modisya
ity ajnana-vimohitah
The demoniac person thinks: "So much wealth do I have today, and I will gain more according to my schemes. So much is mine now, and it will increase in the future, more and more. He is my enemy, and I have killed him; and my other enemy will also be killed. I am the lord of everything, I am the enjoyer, I am perfect, powerful and happy. I am the richest man, surrounded by aristocratic relatives. There is none so powerful and happy as I am. I shall perform sacrifices, I shall give some charity, and thus I shall rejoice." In this way, such persons are deluded by ignorance.
they have no regards for Lord Caitanyas wishes or desires due to their frog in the well mentality
gauranga shrimukhe rupe kahila vaishnave;
laksha nama sankhya kari avasya karibe.
"Lord Gauranga gave the following instructions to all the Vaishnavas Himself and also through Shrila Rupa Goswami: Please compulsorily chant 100,000 names of Krishna daily."
Prema Vilasa chapter 17
