Sri Caitanya's contribution contains an unprecedented, perfect solution to the problems of the whole world

In the splendid, versatile characteristics of Śrī Caitanya, the perfect, real solution to all the problems of all people of all times and of all countries of the entire world is included. The solution which the greatly thoughtful personalities of the present age and the great sages of the ancient time, could not and are not being able to find by exercising their researching capacities and intellect, or the innumerable problems of the innumerable ages that are present in a subtle form in the all-devouring ocean of the innumerable future time factor, as well as the solution to the thousand faced quarreling problems which is beyond the capacity of the renowned personalities of the world—the perfect and real solution to all those problems is found in the spotless character of Śrī Caitanya. The present problem of creating a platform of world peace, not theoretically (not just in talking) but practically (in reality), in other words, realization of self-esteem or rejection of dependence is completely inclusive in the most munificent contribution of Śrī Caitanya.

What is self-honour or independence? Does physical independence for the material body refer to independence? Is Lording it over material nature called Independence? Does posing as master of the material world called Independence? According to the great philosophical language of the mundane world the explanation of independence is as follows— “Liberty means curtailment of your own rights for the sake of others so that mutual interest can be protected to achieve the ultimate great interest as a whole.”

But what is the meaning of self-realization or free will according to the explanation of the spiritual kingdom? The answer: In the phrase “self-realization”, the word “self” is the principle. In other word, by analyzing the Upaniṣad (Bṛhadāraṇyaka Upaniṣad) it is seen that everyone loves each other only because of the relation to the spirit soul and not otherwise. The life and soul of all spirit souls of Śrī Kṛṣṇa is situated within all embodied beings in His form as Lord Vasudeva. In other words, to completely surrender oneself unto Śrī Kṛṣṇa or to always remain under His subordination is the actual meaning of Independence (sva – one’s own Lord + adhenata – subordination = Svadhenata or Independence). Indeed innumerable universes are present within Him. The only infallible solution to all kinds of problems is to engage in Śrī Kṛṣṇa’s service with all one’s senses.

īśvaraḥ paramaḥ kṛṣṇaḥ

anādir ādir govindaḥ

sarva-kāraṇa-kāraṇam

Sri Govinda (Śrī Kṛṣṇa alone) who is eternal, full of knowledge, and who has got a blissful spiritual body, alone is the Supreme Personality of Godhead. He has no origin. He is the origin of all for He is the cause of all causes—the original source.
