Nitai!

Lord Vishvambhara once said, "Please listen, Nityananda. I'm afraid that You'll pick quarrels with others. Please be calm and don't play mischief at Srivasa Pandit's house."

Hearing this, Lord Nityananda at once remembered Krishna saying, "I assure You, You'll never find me naughty. Don't think of me like Yourself."

Vishvambhara said, "I know You very well."

Nityananda replied, "Then tell me my faults."

Gauracandra smilingly said, "You want to know Your faults? It seems You have incarnated to shower rice all over the room."
