So these nirviśeṣavādī, impersonalist, 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 sābudānā, 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.".

The Māyāvādīs . . . there are two kinds of Māyāvādī: the impersonalists and the voidists. They are all Māyāvādī. 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, Kṛṣṇa, they think, "I became servant of this material world. I have suffered so much. Again servant of Kṛṣṇa? Ohhh . . ." 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 ānanda. One is still more eager to serve Him, Kṛṣṇa. That is spiritual world. That they cannot understand.

So these nirviśeṣavādī, impersonalist, 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 sābudānā, 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 Māyāvādī impersonalist, they cannot understand that serving Kṛṣṇa is simply pleasure and blissful. They cannot understand. Therefore they become impersonalist: "No. The Absolute Truth cannot be person." That is another side of the Buddha philosophy. Impersonal means zero. That is also zero. So Buddhist philosophy, they also make the ultimate goal zero, and these Māyāvādīs, they also make the ultimate goal . . . na te viduḥ svārtha-gatiṁ hi viṣṇum ([[Vanisource:SB 7.5.31|SB 7.5.31]]). They do not understand that there is life, blissful life, by serving Kṛṣṇa.
