PURPORT

The nondualist Mayavadi philosopher who falsely believes that he is nondifferent
from the Lord is unable to call Him like Advaita Prabhu. Advaita Prabhu is non-
different from the Lord, yet in His relationship with the Lord He does not merge
in Him but eternally renders service unto Him as a plenary portion. This is incon-
ceivable for Mayavadis because they think in terms of mundane sense perception
and therefore think that nondualism necessitates losing one’s separate identity. It is
clear from this verse, however, that Advaita Prabhu, although retaining His separate
identity, is nondifferent from the Lord.

Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu preached the philosophy of inconceivable, simultaneous
oneness with the Lord and difference from Him. Conceivable dualism and monism
are conceptions of the imperfect senses, which are unable to reach the Transcendence
because the Transcendence is beyond the conception of limited potency. The actions
of Sri Advaita Prabhu, however, give tangible proof of inconceivable nondualism.
One who therefore surrenders unto Sri Advaita Prabhu can easily follow the
philosophy of inconceivable simultaneous dualism and monism.
