In BGAII 2.16 P., both Hayagriva and JDS show their philosophical shortcomings, misconceptions and ignorance.
Srila Pabhupada writes:
“It is stated there (Vishnu Purana) that Visnu and His abodes all are self-illuminated spiritual existence. “Jyotimsi visnur bhavanani / bhuvanani visnuh”
which becomes in both BGAII version 1 and 2:
{In the Vishnu Purana (2.12.38) it is stated that Visnu and His abodes all have self-illuminated spiritual existence. “Jyotimsi visnur bhavanani / bhuvanani visnuh”}
In the material atmosphere, there is an essential dichotomy between existence and possession. Existence is different from possession. Existence possesses but possession may be dead matter. Possession may, therefore, be inferior to existence. Except for Krishna consciousness, it is impossible to overcome this dichotomy.
So they get the triple AI. AI. AI. rating by the YAD Spiritual Rating Agency (YADSRA). “A” for Arrogance for daring once more falsely and exhibiting the low-class impudence and audacity to correct Our perfect Spiritual Master, His Divine Grace A. C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada, and “I” for Ignorance for failing to understand the difference between existence and possession. On the spiritual platform, there is no difference between existence and possession. It is all existence. But Hayagriva and JDS, being on the material platform, differentiate between existence and possession, like an ordinary karmi, conditioned soul. As always, Srila Prabhupada is right and correct and His own words need to be re-established in order to make it Bhagavad-gita As It Is and Bhagavad-gita as Srila Prabhupada intended it to be. Jaya Srila Prabhupada! What would we do and where would we go without Your shining light in the chaotic and alarming darkness of this age, Kali-yuga?
We would all wander uselessly in this world, as Srimat Prabhodhananda Sarasvati is quoted in CC Adi 13.123:
{Srimat Prabodhänanda Sarasvati has composed the following verses in his Caitanya-candrämrita (37):
acaitanyam idam vishvam yadi caitanyam ishvaram
na viduh sarva-shästra-jnä hy api bhrämyanti te janäh
”This material world is without Krishna consciousness. Lord Caitanya Mahäprabhu is Krishna consciousness personified. Therefore if a very learned scholar or scientist does not understand Sri Caitanya Mahäprabhu, certainly he is wandering uselessly in this world.” }
Or more graphically wandering like zombies in some Hollywood movies, such as The Walking Dead
