rial and spiritual—but one who is actually intelligent can understand them. Con-
sidering the many varieties and activities in material nature, why should the Mayavadi
philosophers deny the spiritual varieties of the spiritual world? The Bhagavatam says:

ye ‘nye ‘ravindaksa vimukta-maninas
tvayy asta-bhavad avisuddha-buddhayah
(Bhag.10.2.32)

The intelligence of those who think themselves liberated but have no information of
the spiritual world is not yet clear. In this verse the term aviSuddha-buddhayah re-
fers to unclean intelligence. Due to unclean intelligence or a poor fund of knowledge,
the Mayavadi philosophers cannot understand the distinction between material and
spiritual varieties; therefore they cannot even think of spiritual varieties because they
take it for granted that all variety is material.

Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu, therefore, explains in this verse that Krsna, the Supreme
Personality of Godhead or the Absolute Truth, has a spiritual body which is distinct
from material bodies, and thus His name, abode, entourage and qualities are all
spiritual. The material mode of goodness has nothing to do with spiritual varieties.
Mayavadi philosophers, however, cannot clearly understand spiritual varieties; there-
fore they imagine a negation of the material world to be the spiritual world. The
material qualities of goodness, passion and ignorance cannot act in the spiritual
world, which is therefore called mirguna, as clearly indicated in Bhagavad-gita
(traigunya-visayad veda nistraigunyo bhavarjuna). The material world is a manifesta-
tion of the three modes of material nature, but one has to become free from these
modes to come to the spiritual world where their influence is completely absent.
Now Lord Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu will disassociate Lord Siva from Mayavada
philosophy in the following verse.
