so when we try to preach to Mayavadis should or can we hear their philosophy Chaitanya Mahaprabhu said from Sarvabhauma but if we hear sometimes our heart will be swollen yes again this is a matter of strategy Chaitanya Mahaprabhu was already very exalted very spiritually advanced, very intellectually astute and he was not affected by Mayavadi philosophy so whether we can or we should hear Mayavadi philosophy usually we should not so here also we need to differentiate most people may be under Mayavadi influence but they are not really Mayavadis that means they have heard some impersonal soundings and they are simply repeating that so people who are in Mayavadi influence we just give some basic philosophical arguments to them understand that God ultimately is not impersonal he is personal and then accept it so we shouldn’t take people as Mayavadis just because the first sound that comes out of their mouth is impersonal so we should give them the benefit of the argument and we should tell them that they are Mayavadi and we try to try to give them understanding of how their complete understanding is that he is both personal and impersonal, not just impersonal and the person’s understanding is the highest understanding so usually if we objectively present this as scripture people do accept it but if somebody is very deeply committed to Mayavadi I have studied many books of Mayavadis and I have given Mayavadi logic and trying to pose this as scripture and interpret then it is best for us to connect them with some senior devotees who will be able to answer their questions usually hearing from Mayavadis that can contaminate us especially if they are committed to a particular school of thought it’s not just Mayavadi, any school of thought if somebody is very committed to that school of thought then they will come up with all kinds of arguments which we may or may not it’s not that they are right and we are wrong or that we are afraid of their philosophy it’s just that we may not be skilled to fight so logic is also like a weapon and just as a weapon can be used by somebody from the side of right or somebody from the side of wrong you know if a terrorist has a machine gun and is an expert shooter and there is a law protecting policy a person has a gun but if that person is not trained enough to shoot accurately the terrorist will hit and the terrorist will flee so logic is like a weapon and sometimes a person who may be not propagating the correct understanding that person may be more skilled in logic than us so they may pass on us their knowledge so logic can be used to propagate the cause of truth logic can also be used to propagate the future or correct understanding so if you find somebody is committed to commit into Mayawada and is involved in the parties to try to support Mayawada at that time it’s best not to hear from them but to connect them with some senior reporters and let them deal with them but we should not judge people as Mayawadis just because they are speaking something personal they may exist under Mayawada influence if they are given proper understanding they are often and eventually will become
