The teachings of Lord Caitanya can elevate human society to the topmost platform of spiritual activity. Such activities constitute the goal of human perfection. Illuminating knowledge can be acquired from the teachings of Lord Caitanya, and by such knowledge one can advance in spiritual existence.
There is no difference between the teachings of Lord Caitanya presented here and the teachings of Lord krishna in the Bhagavad-gita?. The teachings of Lord Caitanya are practical demonstrations of Lord krishna\'s teachings. Lord krishna\'s ultimate instruction in Bhagavad-gita is that everyone should surrender unto Him, Lord krishna promises to take immediate charge of such a surrendered soul. The Lord, the Supreme Personality of Godhead, is already in charge of the maintenance of this creation by virtue of His plenary expansion, but this maintenance is not direct. However, when the Lord says that He takes charge of His pure devotee, He actually takes direct charge. A pure devotee is a soul who is forever surrendered to the Lord, just as a child is surrendered to his parents or an animal to its master. In the surrendering process, one should : (1) accept things favorable for discharging devotional service, (2) reject things unfavorable, (3) believe firmly in the Lord\'s protection, (4) feel exclusively dependent on the mercy of the Lord, (5) have no interest separate from the interest of the Lord, and (6) always feel oneself meek and humble. The Lord demands that one surrender unto Him by following six guidelines.
