Bhagavad-gita As It Is Lectures

The so-called sannyāsī, because they are atheist, they say that asatyam, "This material world is māyā. It has no truth. What you are seeing, it is illusion." Asatyam. But we do not say like that. We say, as we learn from Bhagavad-gītā, we say that Kṛṣṇa says, bhūmir āpo 'nalo vāyuḥ khaṁ mano buddhir eva ca bhinnā me prakṛtir aṣṭadhā (BG 7.4). Kṛṣṇa says: "They are My prakṛti, My energy." Bhūmir āpaḥ analaḥ.

So because it is Kṛṣṇa's prakṛti . . . just like I am a person. I can create something very good, and I can create something not very good. But I can create something not very good . . . just like another practical example, I cook something, and some of the preparation, people say: "Oh, it is very good," and some of the preparation, they say: "It is not so good, but it is nice." But you cannot say any of the things as mithyā. That you cannot say. You are practically eating, and somebody has prepared it, so how you can say it is mithyā, it is false? No. That is not our version. You can say . . . that is also according to taste. You like some sour things, another likes some sweet things. So the person who likes sour things, he says: "Oh, it is very nice," and one who likes sweet things, he may say: "No, it is not so good. This is very nice, the sweet." But either the sour or the sweet thing is prepared by the same cook. You cannot say it is false. It is the energy of the same cook, so you cannot say it is false.
