Conversations and Morning Walks

1975 Conversations and Morning Walks

You can see the universe; that does not mean that you can become universe. You can see the sky; that does not mean you become as big as sky. ...small, minute shining sparks, minute combination. So they are also shining, but that does not mean they can become as good, as big, as the sun... the defect of the Māyāvāda philosophy.
Morning Walk -- July 2, 1975, Denver:

Devotee (1): Like in the Tenth Chapter it's talking about...

Prabhupāda: Hm, not come very near. Yes?

Devotee (1): It's talking about that Arjuna saw the universal form, all these universes and all that. So does that mean like you were talking that one can't become a universal being, but he can see the whole universe. Can you explain how that is?

Prabhupāda: How is that? You can see the universe; that does not mean that you can become universe. You can see the sky; that does not mean you become as big as sky. (break) ...small, minute shining sparks, minute combination. So they are also shining, but that does not mean they can become as good, as big, as the sun. (break) ...the defect of the Māyāvāda philosophy. They think of themselves too much. Therefore they remain here, always in māyā. (break) ...abuddhayaḥ, means the intelligence is not purified. They are called aviśuddha-buddhayaḥ or viśuddha (SB 10.2.32), "without purification of knowledge." (break) ...kṛcchreṇa paraṁ padaṁ tataḥ patanty adhaḥ anādṛta-yuṣmād-aṅghrayaḥ. They fall down. (break)
