“"Foolish persons mock Me when I appear in the form of a human being. Such foolish persons do not know the intrinsic value of this transcendental form—that I am the proprietor, the master, and the Lord of all creation." That such foolish and demoniac persons go to the hellish planets is also stated in the Bhagavad-gītā (16.19–20):
- tān ahaṁ dviṣataḥ krūrān saṁsāreṣu narādhamān
- kṣipāmy ajasram aśubhān āsurīṣv eva yoniṣu
- āsurīṁ yonim āpannā mūḍhā janmani janmani
- mām aprāpyaiva kaunteya tato yānty adhamāṁ gatim
“"I place those who are envious of Me and My devotees into the most degraded species of life. Thus situated, such demoniac souls have no chance of understanding the Supreme Personality of Godhead."
“The doctrine of by-products, pariṇāma-vāda, is asserted from the very beginning of the Vedānta-sūtra, but Śaṅkarācārya has superficially tried to hide it and establish the doctrine of illusory transformation of state, vivarta-vāda. He also has the audacity to say that Vyāsa is mistaken. All Vedic literatures, including the Purāṇas, confirm that the Supreme Lord is the center of all spiritual energy and variegatedness.
