Further Talks With Prakasananda 197

tith verse: “Only the foolish persons mock at Me because I am here just like
human being. Such foolish persons do not know the intrinsic value of this
transcendental Form, that I am the Proprietor, Iam the Master, I am the Lord
of All Creation.”

For such foolish, demoniac persons, hell is also confirmed in the Bhagavad
Gita, Sixteenth Chapter, 19th verse: “Such deriding persons who are envious
of Me and My devotee, I put into this material world in the most degraded
species of life, and being thus situated in such degraded forms, the demoniac
persons have no chance to understand the Supreme Personality of God.”

The doctrine of by-product, Parinamavada, is ascertained from the very
beginning of the Vedanta Sutra, but Acharya Sankara has artificially tried to
hide it and to establish the doctrine of transformation of state, Vivartavata,
and he has the audacity to say that Vyasa is mistaken. All the Vedic literature,
including the Puranas, confirm that the Supreme Lord is the center of Spiritual
energy and variegatedness. The Mayavadi philosopher, however, is puffed
up, in his own incompetence, and cannot understand variegatedness in spiritual
energy. He therefore falsely conceives that the spiritual variegatedness is no
more than material variegatedness. Deluded by this false belief, he derides
the Pastimes of the Supreme Personality of Godhead. Such foolish persons,
being unable to understand the spiritual activities of the Supreme Lord,
consider Krishna as one of the products of this material Nature. This is the
greatest offense which can be committed by any human being. Lord Chai-
tanya therefore establishes that Krishna is Sat Chit Ananda Vigraha, the Form
of Eternity, Knowledge and Bliss, and is always engaged in His transcendental
Pastimes of spiritual variegatedness.

The student of Prakasananda summarized the explanation of Lord
Chaitanya and concluded: “We have practically given up the actual path
of spiritual realization. We simply engage in nonsense talk. The Mayavadi
philosophers who are serious about attaining benediction should engage in
the devotional service of Krishna, but instead they take pleasure only in useless
talk. We admit herewith that by the explanation of Sankara the actual import
of Vedic literature is hidden. Only the explanation given by Chaitanya is
acceptable, and all other interpretations are useless.”

After thus explaining his position, that particular student of Prakasananda
Saraswati engaged himself in the chanting of Hare Krishna, Hare Krishna,
Krishna Krishna, Hare Hare|/Hare Rama, Hare Rama, Rama Rama, Hare Hare.
Prakasananda Saraswati saw that his chief student was engaged in chanting
Hare Krishna, and he too admitted the fault of Sankaracharya, and spoke
