78 THE SCIENCE OF SELF-REALIZATION
everything is for the service of the Absolute. But recently Lord Caitanya
has been misrepresented by some unscrupulous persons, and the highest
philosophy of the Lord has been misinterpreted to be the cult of the
lowest type of society. We are glad to announce tonight that our
Acaryadeva, with his usual kindness, saved us from this horrible type of
degradation, and therefore we bow down at his lotus feet with all
humility.

Gentlemen, it has been a mania of the cultured (or uncultured) society
of the present day to accredit the Personality of Godhead with merely im-
personal features and to stultify Him by claiming that He has no senses,
no form, no activity, no head, no legs, and no enjoyment. This has also
been the pleasure of the modern scholars due to their sheer lack of
proper guidance and true introspection in the spiritual realm. All these
empiricists think alike: all the enjoyable things should be monopolized by
the human society, or by a particular class only, and the impersonal God
should be a mere order-supplier for their whimsical feats. We are happy
that we have been relieved of this horrible type of malady by the mercy of
His Divine Grace Paramaharhsa Parivrajakacarya Bhaktisiddhanta Saras-
vati Goswami Maharaja. He is our eye-opener, our eternal father, our
eternal preceptor, and our eternal guide. Let us therefore bow down at
his lotus feet on this auspicious day.

Gentlemen, although we are like ignorant children in the knowledge of
the Transcendence, still His Divine Grace, my Gurudeva, has kindled a
small fire within us to dissipate the invincible darkness of empirical
knowledge. We are now so much on the safe side that no amount of
philosophical argument by the empiric schools of thought can deviate us
an inch from the position of our eternal dependence on the lotus feet of
His Divine Grace. Furthermore, we are prepared to challenge the most
erudite scholars of the Mayavada school and prove that the Personality of
Godhead and His transcendental sports in Goloka alone constitute the
sublime information of the Vedas. There are explicit indications of this in
the Chdandogya Upanisad [8.13.1]:

Syamac chavalam prapadye
Savalac chyamam prapadye
“For receiving the mercy of Krsna, I surrender unto His energy
(Radha), and for receiving the mercy of His energy, I surrender unto
Krsna.”’ Also in the Rg Veda [(1.2.22.20]:
