The priest named Balarāma Ācārya chastised Gopāla Cakravartī. “You are a foolish logician,” he said. “What do you know about the devotional service of the Lord?
PURPORT
The philosophy enunciated by the Māyāvādīs is called  ghaṭa-paṭiyā  philosophy. According to this philosophy, everything is one, everything is earth, and therefore anything made of earth, such as different pots, is also the same earth. Such philosophers see no distinction between a pot made of earth and the earth itself. Since Gopāla Cakravartī was a  ghaṭa-paṭiyā  logician, a gross materialist, what could he understand about the transcendental devotional service of the Lord?
