268 Srimad-Bhagavatam [Canto 7, Ch. 15
Mayavadi philosopher to prove that this material world is false may
amaze inexperienced children, but a man with full knowledge knows
perfectly well that there cannot be any existence without Krsna.
Therefore a Vaisnava insists on the platform of somehow or other accept-
ing Krsna (tasmat kenépy updyena manah krsne nivesayet).
When we raise our unmixed faith to the lotus feet of Krsna, every-
thing is revealed. Krsna also says in Bhagavad-gita (7.1):

the Vaisnavas. Everything is an emanation from Krsna, but it is not that
everything must therefore be worshiped. Speculative knowledge cannot
give us reality as it is, but will continue to be nefariously imperfect. So-
called scientists try to prove that there is no God and that everything is
happening because of the laws of nature, but this is imperfect knowledge
because nothing can work unless directed by the Supreme Personality of
Godhead. This is explained in Bhagavad-gita (9.10) by the Lord Him-
self:
maydadhyaksena prakrtih
stiyate sacardcaram
hetundnena kaunteya
Jagad viparivartate
“This material nature is working under My direction, O son of Kunti,
and it is producing all moving and unmoving beings. By its rule this
