Today's Thought: |
 |
Don't Be a Slave of the Box
Uploaded from Bhaktivedanta Ashram--Austin,
Texas USA | |
|

 Even
in material life we see that thinking outside of the
box, in other words thinking beyond the mental
stereotypes imposed upon us by the material society, has
its distinct advantages. For example, normally it is
considered that the road to material success is to get a
college degree. But two of the most successful
paradigm-shifting innovators in today's society, Bill
Gates-the founder of Microsoft and Steven Jobs-the
co-founder of Apple Computers, were both college
dropouts. The point is that that we should not be blind
followers of the material civilization. We should use
our own intelligence to see that because every machine
has an operator the gigantic cosmic machine must
therefore also have an operator. We should not be
blindly swept away by Darwinian atheism, even though it
is being taught in the universities and regularly
promoted in the mass media as gospel. Don't be a slave
of the box. Use your intelligence, see things as they are,
and act in full accordance and harmony with the sublime
reality of which you are a part.

Answers According to the Vedic Version: | |
|
|
Question: Mayavadi and Krishna Consciousness |
|
|
My
question is: What is the major difference between
Mayavadi philosophy and Krishna conscious philosophy?
Why did Srila Prabhupada always advise us not to hear
Mayavadi philosophy?

Answer: God is Person,
Not an Imperson |
|
|
Mayavadis
consider that all persons including Krishna are actually
illusions and the only reality is God, the unmanifested,
impersonal oneness. In other words they consider the
form of Krishna to be maya or an illusion. This is why
they are called Mayavadis, because they consider the
form of Krishna to be maya. If a devotee becomes
attracted to hearing Mayavadi philosophy, he will give
naturally give up devotion to the Supreme Personality of
Godhead, because he will think that ultimately there is
no person named Krishna. Mayavadism is especially
dangerous because it is derived from a twisted
misinterpretation of the Vedic scriptures, especially
the Vedanta Sutra.
Mayavadi philosophy attracts the foolish class of men
because it teaches them that they are God, that all they
have to do is wake up and realize that they are God. But
we are not fooled by it. If I am actually God, how could
I have ever forgotten it? This would mean that
forgetfulness is greater than God and that therefore
forgetfulness is actually God, not me.
