Teachings of Lord Chaitanya
fruit is produced, developed, stays for some time, dwindles, and then vanishes. That does not mean that the tree has vanished. From the very beginning, therefore, the purpose of the  Vedanta Sutra  is the exposition of the doctrine of by-products. These activities of production, maintenance and dissolution are going on by the inconceivable energy of the Supreme Lord. The cosmic manifestation is a transformation of the energy of the Supreme Lord, although the energy of the Supreme Lord and the Supreme Lord Himself are non-different and inseparable. An example is the touchstone which produces great quantities of gold by contact with iron—but still the touchstone remains as it is. The Supreme Lord, therefore, in spite of His producing the huge material cosmic manifestation, is always in His transcendental Form.
Mayavadi philosophy has the audacity to decline acceptance of the purpose of Vyasadeva, as explained in the  Vedanta Sutra , and has tried instead to establish transformation of the Supreme: a doctrine of transformation by imagination. According to Mayavadi philosophy, the cosmic manifestation is a transformation of the Absolute Truth, and the Absolute Truth has no separate existence. This is not the message of the  Vedanta Sutra . This transformation has been explained by Mayavadi philosophers as false; but it is not false—it is temporary. Mayavadi philosophy says that the Absolute Truth is the only truth, and this manifestation of the world is false, Actually it is not so. The material contamination is not false; it is relative truth, and therefore it is temporary.
Pranava  or  Omkara  is the chief indication of Vedic hymns, and  Omkara  is considered as the sound Form of the Supreme Lord. From  Omkara , all Vedic hymns have emanated, and the world has also emanated from the  Omkara  sound. The world  Tatvamasi , picked up from the Vedic hymns, is not the chief word, but it is an explanation of the constitutional position of the living entity. The meaning of this  Tatvamasi  is that the living entity is a spiritual particle of the Supreme spirit; but this is not the chief motif of the  Vedanta  or Vedic literature. The chief sound representation of the Supreme is  Omkara .
All these faulty explanations of  Vedanta Sutra  are atheism. The Mayavadi philosophers do not agree to accept the eternal, transcendental Form of the Supreme Lord and they are therefore unable to be engaged in real devotional service. The Mayavadi philosopher is ever bereft of Krishna Consciousness and Krishna's devotional service. The pure devotee of the Personality of Godhead never accepts the Mayavadi philosophy as an actual path to transcendental realization. The Mayavadi philosophers are hovering on the moral
