Vimukta-māninaḥ. In the Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam they have been described as vimukta-māninaḥ that, "I have become now liberated, māninaḥ." Self-complacent, thinking that "I have become now liberated. Now I have become Nārāyaṇa, God." These Māyāvādī sannyāsīs, they address among themselves as namaḥ nārāyaṇa. That means each one of them has become as good as Nārāyaṇa, because Nārāyaṇa is mukta. Nārāyaṇa paraḥ. Śaṅkarācārya says paraḥ. Paraḥ means liberated. Paraḥ and aparaḥ. Aparaḥ means conditioned. So nārāyaṇa paraḥ, avyaktāt.

Nārāyaṇa is transcendental to this cosmic manifestation. He's above. So the Māyāvādī philosopher, they think that, "I have become now a liberated, as good as Nārāyaṇa, the Supreme Personality of Godhead." But Bhāgavatam says: "No. You are simply thinking like that. You are a rascal." Bhāgavatam challenges: "You are thinking that you have become now liberated, but you are a rascal." The very . . . Bhāgavata, Vyāsadeva is very learned, but he says "rascal," but in a very sweet language. (laughter) Vimukta māninaḥ.

Māninaḥ: "You are contemplating." Why? Tvayy asta . . . ye 'nye 'ravindākṣa vimukta-māninas ([[Vanisource:SB 10.2.32|SB 10.2.32]]). Our test is there. "I am liberated. I am Nārāyaṇa." Why? "How you call me rascal?" Yes, we have got a test: ye 'nye 'ravindākṣa vimukta-māninas tvayy asta-bhāvād aviśuddha-buddhayaḥ. Tvayy asta-bhāvād. Still they have not reached the Supreme Personality of Godhead. Simply impersonal idea, and self-complacent that "I have become now Nārāyaṇa."

So this kind of knowledge is aviśuddha, impure, impure knowledge, because the test is, unless one comes to the point of understanding the Personality of Godhead, the knowledge is imperfect. So they are impersonalist, and falsely thinking themselves as Nārāyaṇa. Therefore we can immediately test that "Here is a rascal." Vimukta-māninas tvayy asta-bhāvād aviśuddha-buddhayaḥ.

"No. We have undergone so much austerities, penances. Whole life I remain brahmacārī, then I took sannyāsa. I have followed the rules and regulations very strictly, and still I am rascal?" Yes, you are rascal.

(aside) Don't make sound. Silently.

"Still I am rascal?" Yes. You are rascal. "Why?" Āruhya kṛcchreṇa, "Because the symptoms are there that you are a rascal."

So you have to understand by the symptoms. What is that symptoms? Because you left this world, "This world is false. Brahma is truth," then why you are coming again this false world to open hospital, school, philosophy, humanitarian, all this nonsense? Why you are accepting? If it is false, and if you are in full knowledge, then why you are coming to the false platform? Therefore you are rascal. You rejected this world as false. Then why you are coming down again to the plat . . . false platform. That is rascaldom. That means your conclusion was wrong. Hmm? Your conclusion was wrong.
