710326 Lecture - Srila Prabhupada Speaks a Nectar Drop in Bombay
| Nectar Drops from Srila Prabhupada |
| "In the world of dualities, bhadrābhadra, "This is good, this is bad. This is nice, this is not nice," they are simply mental speculation, because in this world nothing is nice. Everything is bad, because it is not eternal. Therefore Śaṅkarācārya said, jagan mithyā, brahma satya. That's a fact. These, anything, the varieties of this world: temporary. That is the right word. It is not mithyā; it is temporary fact. The Vaiṣṇava philosopher says that this world is not false, but temporary, anitya. Anitya saṁsāre moho janamiyā.
Śrīla Bhaktivinoda Ṭhākura said, jaḍa-vidyā saba māyāra vaibhava: "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." |
