TRANSLATION
“The Māyāvāda school, giving up the real, easily understood meaning of Vedic literature, has introduced indirect meanings, based on their imaginative powers, to prove their philosophy.”
PURPORT

We have therefore begun by presenting  Bhagavad-gītā  As  It Is , and we propose to present all the Vedic literature in terms of the direct meaning of its words.
