strī-putrādi-kathāṁ jahur viṣayiṇaḥ śāstra-pravādaṁ budhā

(Caitanya-candrāmṛta: 113)
“The viṣayīs abandoned talk of their wives, sons, and so on; the intellectuals abandoned their debates regarding the śāstra, the masters of yoga abandoned the hardships produced by their practices of breath regulation, the ascetics abandoned their austerities, and the sannyāsīs abandoned their studies when Caitanyacandra revealed the highest path of bhakti-yoga. No other rasa remained.”
