There is—we get this information from the Bhagavad-gītā— the kingdom of God, where everything is permanent. Within this material world, everything is nonpermanent, temporary. Anything you take, it has got its creation, it stays for some time, it produces some by-products, then it grows, and then it dwindles, and then it vanishes. Anything you take.

Śrīla Bhaktivinoda Ṭhākura said, ''jaḍa-vidyā saba māyāra vaibhav''a: "Advancement of material science is increasing the illusion of ''māyā''." We are already illusioned, and if you go on increasing the illusion more and more, then we become more and more entangled. That is the nature. And so long we are illusioned, we shall put forward different theories, different philosophies and different arguments.

Therefore ''śāstra'' says, ''tarko apratiṣṭhaḥ'' ([[Vanisource:CC Madhya 17.186|CC Madhya 17.186]]). Simply by argument and reasoning, you cannot make any spiritual advancement. Because you may be very good, I mean to say, logician, putting forward nice arguments, but somebody may come who is better than you. He will spoil all your logic, and he will establish his own logic. That is ''nyāya-śāstra''. In Sanskrit there is ''nyāya-śāstra''. So they are taught how to defeat his opponent.

Therefore the Absolute Truth you cannot understand by argument, by material dealings. In the ''Brahma-saṁhitā'' it is said:

:''panthās tu koṭi-śata-vatsara-sampragamyo''
:''vāyor athāpi manaso muni-puṅgavānām''
:''so 'py asti yat-prapada-sīmny avicintya-tattve''
:''govindam ādi-puruṣaṁ tam ahaṁ bhajāmi''
:(Bs. 5.34)

''Panthās tu koṭi-śata-vatsara-sampragamyaḥ''. Just like in the material science they are trying to go to the moon planet or other planets also by certain standard of speed in the Sputnik. 

(aside) It is not working?

They are finding it difficult even to go to the moon planet, which is the nearest planet to the earth. And there are innumerable other planets. And the modern scientists calculate that the highest planet, if we want to go there, it will take the Sputnik speed, which is running eighteen thousand miles per hour; in that speed if we go forty thousands of years, we can reach the highest planetary system within this material world.

But so far the kingdom of God, which is called Vaikuṇṭhaloka, or ''sanātana-dhāma'', as it is stated in the ''Bhagavad-gītā'', ''paras tasmāt tu bhāvo 'nya 'vyakta 'vyaktāt sanātanaḥ'' ([[Vanisource:BG 8.20 (1972)|BG 8.20]]). That is ''sanātana-dhāma''. There is—we get this information from the ''Bhagavad-gītā''—the kingdom of God, where everything is permanent. Within this material world, everything is non-permanent, temporary.

Anything you take, it has got its creation, it stays for some time, it produces some by-product, then it grows, and then it dwindles and then it vanishes. Anything you take. Just like our body—it is produced at a certain time by combination of the semina of father and mother, and then it grows, it stays for some time and it produces some by-products, then becomes older and older, and then vanishes. This is called ''ṣaḍ-vikāra'', six kinds of changes of material world.

So although it is temporary, we cannot say it is false. It is not false. That is the difference between Māyāvāda philosophy and Vaiṣṇava philosophy. The Vaiṣṇava philosopher takes the temporary thing, although temporary. They know how to make the best use of a bad bargain. That is Vaiṣṇava philosophy. ''Nirbandhe kṛṣṇa-sambandhe yukta-vairāgyam ucyate''.
