After taking his meal, Vrajanātha retired to bed with various conflicting views about acintya-bhedābheda (the doctrine of inconceivable oneness and difference) arising in his heart. Sometimes he thought that acintya - bhedābheda-tattva was just another kind of Māyāvāda philosophy, but when he reconsidered the teaching seriously, he realized that there was no objection in śāstra to it. On the contrary, it contained the essence of all śāstras. “Śrīmad Gaura-Kiśora is the complete manifestation of
Bhagavān Himself, and His profound teachings cannot possibly be faulty in any way,” he said to himself. “I will never give up the lotus feet of that extremely kind and affectionate Gaura-Kiśora. But alas! What have I attained so far? I have come to understand that acintya-bhedābheda-tattva is the ultimate truth, but what have I gained through this knowledge? Śrī Raghunātha dāsa Bābājī has said that prīti (love) is the sādhya of life for all jīvas.
