Mayavadis shudder
The Mayavadi philosophers, they simply stop these material activities. Just
like Buddha philosophy, nirvana. He simply advises to stop this. But after
stopping, what is, sir? “No, zero. Zero.” That cannot be. That is not
possible. This is their mistake. But the people to whom Buddha philosophy
was preached, they are not so intelligent that there can be better service
after giving up this service. Therefore Lord Buddha said, “You stop this
service. You become happy because ultimately everything is zero.” Sunyavadi.
Nirvisesavadi.
There are two kinds of Mayavadis: the impersonalists and the voidists. They
are all Mayavadi. So their philosophy is good so far, because a foolish man
cannot understand more than this. A foolish man, if he is informed that
there is better life in the spiritual world, to become servant of God,
Krsna, they think, “I became servant of this material world. I have suffered
so much. Again servant of Krsna? Oh…” They shudder, “Oh, no, no. This is
not good. This is not good.” As soon as they hear of service, they think of
this service, this nonsense service. They cannot think of that there is
service, but there is simply ananda. One is still more eager to serve Him,
Krsna. That is spiritual world. That they cannot understand. So these
nirvisesavadi, impersonalists, they think like that. Just like a diseased
man lying on the bed, and if he is informed that “When you will be cured,
you will be able to eat nicely, you will be able to walk,” he thinks that
“Again walking? Again eating?” Because he is accustomed to eat bitter
medicine and sagudana, not very palatable, and so many things, passing stool
and urine, activities on the bed. So as soon as they inform that “After
being cured there is also passing of stool and urine and eating, but that is
very palatable,” he cannot understand. He says, “It is something like this.”
So the Mayavadi impersonalists, they cannot understand that serving Krsna is
simply pleasure and blissful. They cannot understand. Therefore they become
impersonalists: “No. The Absolute Truth cannot be person.”
