vedāntāḥ pratipādayanti mukhato nocettataḥ kiṃ mama
manyante na ca śāstra gatrtapatitā dustarkiṇaḥ kiṃ tataḥ
noceda bhāgavatānubhūtipadavīṃ yātastataḥ kiṃ mama
svātmā vajrasahasraviddha iva na spandeta vṛndāvanāt
- Shri Prabodhanand Saraswati, Vrindavan Mahimamrit (1.6)
If the Vedanta does not directly describe Vrindavan, why should that matter to me? If the faulty logicians, who are like serpents living in the Vedic literatures, ignore Vrindavan, why should I care? If even the devotees of the Lord do not understand the glories of Vrindavan, how does that affect me? Even if my body were pierced by thousands of thunderbolts. I would never leave Vrindavan.
