Śrīla Prabhupāda Says


Prabhupāda: The Māyāvāda says, “Kṛṣṇa, Kṛṣṇa is God within you.” The Dr. Radhakrishnan said, the rascal. “Kṛṣṇa is within. The outside is material body.” You have read that.

Dr. Patel: There is no within and without... I have not read that. There is no within and without so far God is concerned. God is everywhere.


Prabhupāda: And similarly, similarly, guru also—no within, no without. Otherwise how we can say, sākṣād-dharitvena. Directly, if you make distinction, how he can be directly?

Dr. Patel: Within, without is (indistinct).


Prabhupāda: Kintu prabhor yaḥ priya eva tasya. But he has attained that position on account of his being very, very dear to God. Because doing God’s work. Eh? God says, “Surrender unto Me.” Guru is preaching... That is real guru. He’s preaching, “Surrender to Kṛṣṇa.” He’ll never say, “Surrender unto Me.”


Dr. Patel: No guru says so.


Prabhupāda: All rascals says. All rascals say.

Dr. Patel: But rascals are not gurus.


Prabhupāda: No, no. The gurus, so-called gurus, there are. These Māyāvādīs, all they say. “I am God.”


Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: Nārāyaṇa.


Prabhupāda: “Let me now have rasa dance. Send your children. Send your wife, send your daughter. We’ll dance.” These are all rascals, Māyāvādīs. Māyāvādi-bhāṣya śunile haya sarva-nāśa. This is the statement of Caitanya Mahāprabhu. As soon as one hears the statement of Māyāvādī, he’s doomed, finished. He’s finished.


Dr. Patel: You have been bracketing so many good people like that, with the bad, and I feel strongly...


Prabhupāda: Where is good people?! Where is good people?!


Dr. Patel: ...about this philosophy of yours.


Prabhupāda: All rascals! Let them come! Let them come. Yes! I shall kick on their face!!! I am so strong. Where is good man?!


Dr. Patel: You see...


Prabhupāda: I have already kicked already that... What is that?


Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: Bala Yogi.


Prabhupāda: Yes. (Hindi) and (Hindi). And he’s a dog! In public meeting.


Dr. Patel: I meet with all these fellows. We talk of general philosophy.


Prabhupāda: So we have got some discrimination! Our is only point: If anybody is a Māyāvādī, he’s a dog. Kick him on his face!! That’s all.


Dr. Patel: Māyāvādī means those people who...
Prabhupāda: No! Māyāvādī means Māyāvādī. That’s all. No explanation.


Dr. Patel: What do you mean by Māyāvāda?


Prabhupāda: Māyāvādī means who thinks like that...


Dr. Patel: All right, now, that is right.


Prabhupāda: ...“Kṛṣṇa, Kṛṣṇa is different from His body.” That is Māyāvādī.
