The bad logic and offenses of the mayavadis

"The dualistic concept of God is often arrived at by self-opinionated persons. This concept is reprehensible and very difficult to overcome. Mayavadi philosophers propose that brahman is formless and impersonal, and that Lord Visnu's name, form etc. are all products of illusion; they expect to perceive Lord Visnu as impersonal Brahman and nothing more. But such arguments are foolish and nihilistic. The mayavadi viewpoint stems from madness and a stubborn ignorance of the fact that the Suprcme Lord is endowed with omnipotence. Omnipotent brah-man is Visnu: the difference is in name only.

"The intelligence of the mayavadi philosopher is extremely demented. Seeing that the material existence is variegated, he concludes that the spiritual existence, being opposite to the material realm, must be featureless. This incomplete, immature theorizing leads him to imagine Brahman as dry and impersonal. In its original state, Brahman has a name, form, qualities, pastimes and so on—but the mayayadi is conditioned by human existence. The pure devotee is the scourge of this mischievous philosophy; he establishes the scriptural edict that, the Supreme Lord is non-different from His name, form, pastimes and qualities.

You cannot have experiences unless you exist, nor can you experience anything unless you are aware of your existence.

The Supreme Lord's inconceivable potencies not only include His personal and impersonal aspects, they also manifest His all-attractive beauty and silence all contradictory speculations about Him.

"Human intelligence is limited and puny. It cannot easily fathom the Supreme Lord's inconceivable energies. So when a human being tries to conceive of a Supreme Controller with his inadequate brain, he can advance only to the concept of impersonal Brahman, which is a partial representation of the Absolute Whole. In this way he is diverted from the supreme goal of worship, Lord Visnu, whose lotus feet are worshipped even by
