The Hainsa-guhya Prayers
237
imagine or concoct a form of the Supreme Personality of Godhead, but devotees want to worship the actual Personality of Godhead. Therefore Dakṣa prays, “One may think of You as personal, impersonal or imaginary, but I wish to pray to Your Lordship that You fulfill my desires to see You as You actually are.”
Śrīla Viśvanātha Cakravartī Thākura comments that this verse is especially meant for the impersonalist, who thinks that he himself is the Supreme because there is no difference between the living being and God. The Māyāvādī philosopher thinks that there is only one Supreme Truth and that he is also that Supreme Truth. Actually this is not knowledge but foolishness, and this verse is especially meant for such fools, whose knowledge has been stolen by illusion ( māyayāpahṛta-jñānāḥ ). Viśvanātha Cakravartī Thākura says that such persons,  jñāni-māninaḥ , think themselves very advanced, but actually they are unintelligent.
In regard to this verse, Śrīla Madhvācārya says:
svadeha-sthaṁ hariṁ prāhur adhamā jīvam eva tu madhyamāś cāpy anirṇītaṁ jīvād bhinnaṁ janārdanam
There are three classes of men—the lowest ( adhama ), those in the middle ( madhyama ), and the best ( uttama ). The lowest ( adhama ) think that there is no difference between God and the living entity except that the living entity is under designations whereas the Absolute Truth has no designations. In their opinion, as soon as the designations of the material body are dissolved, the  jīva , the living entity, will mix with the Supreme. They give the argument of  ghaṭākāśa-paṭākāśa , in which the body is compared to a pot with the sky within and the sky without. When the pot breaks, the sky inside becomes one with the sky outside, and so the impersonalists say that the living being becomes one with the Supreme. This is their argument, but Śrīla Madhvācārya says that such an argument is put forward by the lowest class of men. Another class of men cannot ascertain what the actual form of the Supreme is, but they agree that there is a Supreme who controls the activities of the ordinary living being. Such philosophers are accepted as mediocre. The best, however, are those who understand the Supreme Lord ( sac-cid-ānanda-vigraha ).
