I know better than the Acharya, Srila Prabhupada. Srila Prabhupada is WRONG!” is what crazy, monist and ersatz -Acharya Jayadvaita is screaming throughout chapter six of Bhagavad Giat As It Is.
This refers to the use of the word “self” and whether it refers to the individual soul or to the Supreme Soul, Sri Krishna. Srila Prabhupada clearly mentions the individual soul, but crazy, subversive and traitor Jayadvaita does not agree at all.
“If one poses himself as an acarya but does not have an attitude of servitorship to the Lord, he must be considered an offender, and this offensive attitude disqualifies him from being an acarya. The bona fide spiritual master always engages in unalloyed devotional service to the Supreme Personality of Godhead. By this test he is known to be a direct manifestation of the Lord and a genuine representative of Sri Nityananda Prabhu. Such a spiritual master is known as acaryadeva. Influenced by an envious temperament and dissatisfied because of an attitude of sense gratification, mundaners criticize a real acarya. In fact, however, a bona fide acarya is nondifferent from the Personality of Godhead, and therefore to envy such an acarya is to envy the Personality of Godhead Himself. This will produce an effect subversive of transcendental realization.” Adi 1.46
BGAII 6.20.23 Here we have the perfect manifestation of Jayadavaita’s sick, idiotic and superiority complexed mind. He just loves to mislead and confuse people. Abracadabra!!!
Srila Prabhupada types:
Text 6.20-23 According to the yoga system, that state of perfection is called trance, or Samadhi when it is seen that, by practice of yoga, one’s mind is completely restrained from mental activities in connection with matter. This is characterised by one’s ability to see himself by the pure mind and by his satisfaction in himself. In that state one is situated in transcendental happiness, ascertained through transcendental senses. No one is shaken from this transcendental position. When that state is achieved no one cares for profit in the material world and being situated in that position, no one is shaken, even in the midst of the greatest difficulty. This is factual freedom from the miseries arising from material contact.
Hayagriva renders:
The stage of perfection is called trance, or samadhi, when one’s mind is completely restrained from material mental activities by practice of yoga. This is characterized by one’s ability to see the self by the pure mind and to relish and rejoice in the self. In that joyous state, one is situated in boundless transcendental happiness and enjoys himself through transcendental senses. Established thus, one never departs from the truth, and upon gaining this he thinks there is no greater gain. Being situated in such a position, one is never shaken, even in the midst of greatest difficulty. This indeed is actual freedom from all miseries arising from material contact.
The falsely inventive counterfeiter and forger Jayadvaita gives:
In the stage of perfection called trance, or samadhi, one’s mind is completely restrained from material mental activities by practice of yoga. This perfection is characterized by one’s ability to see the Self by the pure mind and to relish and rejoice in the Self. In that joyous state, one is situated in boundless transcendental happiness, realized through transcendental senses. Established thus, one never departs from the truth, and upon gaining this he thinks there is no greater gain. Being situated in such a position, one is never shaken, even in the midst of the greatest difficulty. This indeed is actual freedom from all miseries arising from material contact.
Why does Jayadvaita write Self with capital letter? Does he refer to the Supreme Self or the Superself? The individual self is in lower case. Confusion between Supreme Self and individual self is monism and is anathema to the Vaishnava school of thought. Srila Prabhupada also is very clear in that respect: “This is characterised by one’s ability to see himself by the pure mind and by his satisfaction in himself.” He clearly refers to the individual self. So in that respect Hayagriva rendition is acceptable, but Jayadavaita’s is to be rejected outright. In his delirium, Jayadaivata thinks he is the smartest of all. Kick him in the face with boots to wake him up. There is a thousand Australian dollars reward for the deed. This madman has the audacity to philosophically correct the Acharya.
