Māyāvādī means materialist. Māyā means this matter, and vādī means those who stick to this principle of material . . . so there are different kinds of materialists. Because we should always know that up to the point of intelligence, it is matter. First point is the senses, the gross. The grossest type of materialist is that they are addicted to sense gratification. So this is materialist. And above this, there are mental speculators. They are also materialists, because mind is matter.

So the sense gratifiers and the mental speculationist, and those who are trying to reach spiritual perfection by bodily exercise . . . because body is not at all spirit; it is matter. But by intellectually, by making proper adjustment . . . just the only benefit of such exercises is to concentrate the mind. The mind is very disturbed. So that is also materialist. That means jñānī, yogī and karmī.

Karmī means those who are working very hard day and night simply for sense gratification. That's all. They are called karmī. And jñānī means they are finding out solution by mental speculation. And yogī means they are trying to find out spiritual salvation by bodily exercises. They are all, in strict sense, they are all materialist.

There is no question of spiritualist. Spiritualism there where one understands that what is the constitutional position of spirit and act according to that. Therefore bhakti, this devotional service, is only spiritualism, because those who are devotees, they know that they are eternally part and parcel of the Supreme Lord, and therefore to be engaged in transcendental loving service of the Supreme Lord is spiritualism. So:

Māyāvādī . . . the followers of Śaṅkara's school, they are generally called Māyāvādī. And another Māyāvādī are called the Buddhist. In the Kāśī, in Benares, there were two kinds of Māyāvādīs. One kind of Māyāvādī, the Buddhist, they have got still Sarnath. Buddhists temples there are, because Lord Buddha, he started his meditation near Gayā at about hundred miles off from Benares. Then his disciples established monasteries near Kāśī, because Benares is well-known sacred place since a very long time, so they also established there.

Formerly there was no such animosities between the Hindus and the Buddhists. They were practically on the same platform, but philosophically they were different. Just like the Māyāvādīs, the followers of Śaṅkarite, they are still Hindus. They are not out of it. Similarly, Buddhists also were considered as Hindu. But when Buddha religion was completely driven away from India's boundary, then now it is considered another sect. So the Kāśī Māyāvādī means both the Buddhist and the followers of Śaṅkarites.
