I confess I cannot see Sri Chaitanya, an Avatar of Love and Forgiveness, whose mere contact reformed ruffians like Jagai and Madhai into saints, cursing anyone, no matter for what transgression.

But it does not follow Page 64 that the precedent of Jagai-Madhai is the invariable law of spiritual life. The law is rather this that the field must be ready, the being and the consciousness must get into a certain mould, attain certain order and disposition ...

... into great saints, of men of little or no virtue into spiritual seekers and God-lovers has frequently happened in religious and spiritual history—as in Europe St. Augustine, in India Chaitanya's Jagai and Madhai, Bilwamangal and many others. The house of the Divine is not closed to any who knock sincerely at its gates, whatever their past stumbles and errors. Human virtues and human errors are bright ...

The Divine Grace came to aid the persecutor (Saul of Tarsus), it came to St. Augustine the profligate, to Jagai and Madhai of infamous fame, to Bilwamangal and many others whose conversion might well scandalise the puritanism of the human moral intelligence; but it can come to the righteous also—curing them of their ...
... Mother must be as devouring Page 1031 a madness as the passion of Chaitanya to see the face of Sri Krishna. Our sacrifice for the country must be as enthusiastic and complete as that of Jagai and Madhai who left the rule of a kingdom to follow the sankirtan of Gauranga. Our offerings on the altar must be as wildly liberal, as remorselessly complete as that of Carthaginian parents who passed ...

( He turning to Madhai, his moving spirit ) Page 57 ... what shall I say? MADHAI Not... But how will you two compass that, Since what you call light is dark night to the wise? JAGAI ( showing him his fist ) We are come to teach you that — and you shall learn Which is God's gleam and which the Gorgon's gloom, So that — what else, Madhai? You are not helpful.

For I mean business, Nor can I talk the hind legs off a donkey As this mytho-maniac can. But I say ...

... seems to do so, how do we know that somebody has not done sadhana in his past life? You can't deny it, can you? I could point you at many instances in spiritual history—beginning with the famous Jagai Madhai. But it is no use against a brain that does not want to admit that 2+2=4. You can't affirm it, can you?

It may be true in your case, but what of St. Augustine, Jagai Madhai, Bilwamangal and the rest?

This same divine love and forgiveness lay at the root of Sri Chaitanyadev’s transformation of Jagai and Madhai’s nature. With thy pitcher thou hast hit me For that, shall I not love thee?
