CC daily 130 – M 6.182 – Impersonalism gives Vedic facade to voidism

Thank you Ketancharitamutmartinilam chapter 6 takes 182 mayavadam sacchastram pachannam bauddham uchyate mayaivaknitam devi kalav brahmana murtina so this is another verse we quoted from the padma purana Dr. Khanda that is 2547 that was the previous one that was quoted about lord shiva telling lord vishnu lord shiva addressing lord vishnu telling him to propagate something and now this is padma purana wherein lord shiva is telling what we will be doing to parvati so essentially either way the important point is that krishna is being glorified now how is krishna being glorified here we may say that krishna is being glorified when impersonal conception is being propagated yes that is true at one immediate level but at a deeper level glorification of krishna depends not just on the number of people who glorify him but on the purity of those who take up the path of devoting themselves to him when people lack such purity then whatever they do can't be sustained for very long whatever is achieved in this world is lost if we don't pursue it diligently and to the extent you pursue it diligently to the extent it stays it grows so devotion to krishna is also a great wealth, a great treasure and krishna doesn't give that treasure freely to everyone so here it is said that how krishna tests those who don't want to come to worship and the tests are meant to fail those who are not those who are not seriously studied similarly mayavada takes one test so mayavadam satchastram vachannam bhautam uchyate what this means is mayavad is the way by which people move onwards towards deeper and greater illusion because they can't find anything higher or better to do in their lives they can't find anything towards which they can raise themselves so they end up placing themselves at a lower situation than other situations and thus they end up bound in material existence so mayavadam satchastram satchastram is that which is meant to do shasana satchastram is a false scripture vachannam bhautam uchyate is actually conceal buddhism and mayaivavihitam devi kalav brahman bhurtira i will spread this and in kaliyuga i come in the form of a brahman so what is going on here krishna is stating that he is the all-attractive supreme being he is the person who is the greatest well-wisher of all beings at the same time one of the ways in which he accepts his guru vishis by allowing us to play out our desire so that the lesson that we eventually learn will be deeply internalized so for those who want to pretend to be religious while not actually being committed to religion krishna create this facility now the question here is that impersonalism and voidism which is buddhism they are related the nature of their relationship is that whereas impersonalism says that the absolute truth has no attributes voidism claims that the absolute truth does not exist itself or there is no history of the absolute truth they are only showing you so essentially buddhism and voidism are intellectual clones and these clones although they may look different essentially they are similar and there it is said that prachanam is just concealed now what is the concealment buddhism openly rejected the vedas prachanam rejection of vedas makes it openly atheistic but impersonalism rather than openly rejecting the vedas claims to accept the authority of the vedas but then essentially gives the same thing that buddhism is giving but only with the garb that it is pious it is vedic so it's like a thief stealing from a purse and then a person the same thief putting on the dress of a police person and then stealing from the house both are the same in the sense that they are doing the same activity but there is a greater amount of respectability that seems to be there in one of these so here the question is how in the wide world are people recognizing the truth of this that is by the mercy of the Vaisnavacharyas who are pure representative of the Supreme God and who purely transmit his message so for those who want to see yaha pashyati, pashyati as the bhagavad gita says there are hymns in the scripture which show that actually it is not that the impersonalists are having the correct understanding no not at all it is it is impersonalism is although coming from an authorized person is an unauthorized doctrine propagated for a particular purpose so once somebody understand this contextual purpose that person can avoid misleading or being misled and thus one can stay protected from the various illusions that dog people in material existence so here mayavadam asat shastram prachannam buddham uchyati mayaiva vihtam devi kalau brahmana murtina it is a clear prophetic verse here asat shastram although mayavad seems to be a brilliant system of thought and logic which claims to reconcile the various paradoxical statements in the vedas its reconciliation is actually a rejection of the ultimate confusion of the vedas and so it is asat shastram it is so for people who had already who had already rejected the vedas in the name of buddhism to get them back into the vedic fold at that particular time Shankaracharya spoke this philosophy the subsequent generation by perpetuating it made what was an emergency beneficial measure into a long term malefic measure and that's why Chaitanya Mahaprabhu ensures Shankaracharya is not to be blamed because he should be carrying out the will of the lord and that will of the lord was a reciprocation to the desire of the conditioned soul to enjoy separate from god while putting on a religious facade but here this particular ideology is propagated so that the souls can recognize that the souls who want to be misled can be misled and the souls who want to turn towards the supreme lord will be able to turn towards the supreme lord and attain him and the sheer scope of the vedic vision wherein even the path of delusion a path to delusion is within the jurisdiction of the supreme lord it's a mind boggling vision so and it just shows the pervasive scope of god's jurisdiction and it also gives us hope that whatever kind of illusion we might presently be in, we can come out of it if we take shelter of the supreme lord because ultimately we are never out of his jurisdiction even the various illusions which are propagated in the world they are also propagated under his jurisdiction and we are indirectly and unfavorably in his jurisdiction at those times and when we try to serve him then we can come directly and favorably under his jurisdiction.
