Kṛṣṇa said, "You give up all this business. You do everything for Me". That's all. "Don't utilize the assets of the world for your sense gratification, neither you give it up as mithyā". Why mithyā? "I've created." Why it should be mithyā? Mithyā means false. Whatever God has created, that is not false, everything.


So there are two kinds of religious system. The karmīs . . . Karma-kāṇḍa and jñāna-kāṇḍa. The Vedas, there are three kāṇḍas; therefore Vedas' name is trayī. Trayī means there are three different phases of activities—karma-kāṇḍa, jñāna-kāṇḍa and upāsana-kāṇḍa. That is the teachings of the Vedic literature. So when Kṛṣṇa says, sarva-dharmān parityajya mām ekaṁ śaraṇaṁ vrāja . . . (BG 18.66). Because there are two kinds of men in this world. One is karmī, and one is jñānī. Karmīs are trying to use up all the money of the world and utilize it for sense gratification. They are karmīs, sarva-kāmo. They're described in the śāstra as sarva-kāmo. Akāmaḥ sarvo-kāma, mokṣa-kāma udāra-dhīḥ (SB 2.3.10). So when Kṛṣṇa says that sarva-dharmān patityajya, sarva means "all." So generally, in the material world two things are going on. The karmīs are busy to acquire money for his sense gratification, and the jñānīs, they've given up the world as mithyā. Brahma satyaṁ jagan mithyā: "Brahman is truth, and this is all mithyā." So Kṛṣṇa said, "You give up all this business." Mām ekaṁ śaraṇaṁ vrāja: "You do everything for Me. That's all. Don't utilize the assets of the world for your sense gratification, neither you give it up as mithyā. Why mithyā? I've created." Why it should be mithyā? Mithyā means false. Whatever God has created, that is not false, everything.

So our Kṛṣṇa consciousness view is that everything created by God is not mithyā; it is fact. Everything is fact. We don't say unnecessarily, "This is mithyā. This is false." Why it is false? God is truth. If He has created anything, that is also truth. Why it should be false? That is Vaiṣṇava view. Truth does not come out of untruth. Truth comes from truth. Something comes from something; something does not come from nothing. This is voidism. So we should not be impersonalists. We should not be voidists.
