Śrī-Caitanya-caritāmṛta
It is the statement of Cārvāka Muni that one should beg, borrow or steal money to purchase ghee and enjoy life ( ṛṇaṁ kṛtvā ghṛtaṁ pibet ). Thus even the greatest atheist of India recommends that one eat ghee, not meat. No one could conceive of human beings' eating meat like tigers and dogs, but men have become so degraded that they are just like animals and can no longer claim to have a human civilization.

TRANSLATION
“The Māyāvāda philosophy is so degraded that it has taken the insignificant living entities to be the Lord, the Supreme Truth, thus covering the glory and supremacy of the Absolute Truth with monism.
PURPORT
Śrīla Bhaktivinoda Thākura comments in this connection that in all Vedic scriptures the  jīva-tattva , the truth of the living entities, is mentioned to be one of the energies of the Lord. If one does not accept the living entity to be a minute, infinitesimal spark of the Supreme but equates the  jīva-tattva  with the Supreme Brahman or Supreme Personality of Godhead, it must be understood that his entire philosophy is based on a misunderstanding. Unfortunately, Śrīpāda Śaṅkarācārya purposely claimed the  jīva-tattva , or living entities, to be equal to the Supreme God. Therefore his entire philosophy is based on a misunderstanding, and it misguides people to become atheists whose mission in life is unfulfilled. The mission of human life, as described in  Bhagavad-gītā , is to surrender unto the Supreme Lord and become His devotee, but the Māyāvāda philosophy misleads one to defy the existence of the Supreme Personality of Godhead and pose oneself as the Supreme Lord. Thus it has misguided hundreds and thousands of innocent men.
In the  Vedānta-sūtra , Vyāsadeva has described that the Supreme Personality of Godhead is potent and that everything, material or spiritual, is but an emanation of His energy. The Lord, the Supreme Brahman, is the origin or source of everything ( janmādy asya yataḥ ), and all other manifestations are emanations of different energies of the Lord. This is also confirmed in the  Viṣṇu-Purāṇa :
