So saying he began to sing Krishna's _sankirtan_. At this Parkashananda remarked, "The Acharya was eager to establish Monism, and he had therefore to twist the sense of the aphorisms. If you admit God's _bhagawánship_, you cannot establish Monism. So the Acharya had to refute all the _Shástras_. No author who wishes to set up his own theory can give the plain meaning of the scriptures. A philosopher of the _Mimánsa_ school speaks of God as a part and parcel of [His] work; the _Sánkhya_ speaks of Him as the cause of Nature all over the universe. The _Nyáya_ asserts that the world was composed out of atoms; the Illusionist speaks of the abstract Brahma as the Cause. Patanjal (alone) tells us of the true nature of Krishna; so He is the true God, according to the _Vedas_. None recognizes God as the Supreme Cause, each school of philosophy only sets up its own theory by refuting the views of its rivals. Thus from the six schools of philosophy we cannot know the [spiritual] truth. Only the words of great men are reliable. Chaitanya's words are a stream of nectar. What He says is the essence of spiritual truth. Hearing all this, the Maratha Brahman in delight went to report it to the Master, whom he met going to visit Bindu Madhav after His bath in the five streams. At the Brahman's narration He was pleased. Beholding the beauty of Bindu Madhav Hewas enraptured and danced in the courtyard [of the temple] in love, while Chandra Shekhar, Paramananda, Tapan and Sanátan joined in a _sankirtan_ chanting,-- _"Hail to Hari and Hara! to Krishna the Yadav, to Gopál, Govinda, Ram and Madhusudan."_ _Lakhs_ of men surrounded them shouting _Hari! Hari!_ The blessed cry filled earth and heaven. Hearing it near him, Prakashananda came there with his pupils, moved by curiosity. Beholding the Master's charm of person and dancing, he with his disciples joined the cry of _Hari! Hari!_ The Master trembled, spoke in a choking voice, perspired, changed colour, or at times stood rigidly inert, bathing the bystanders with His tears, His body thrilled with ecstasy like the _Kadamba_ tree. He displayed every passion, exultation, abjectness, lightness &c., to the marvel of the people of Benares.
