Guest guest Posted June 10, 2005 Report Share Posted June 10, 2005 Headline: "The purpose of moon-eating heads, A reply on Ananta Prabhu's article" Author's name: Subhdara-mayi d.d. Date posted: June 5, 2005 on Chakra This is a reply to the above article. In His discussion with Sarvabhauma Bhattacarya, Lord Caitanya was very clear about the futility of interprerting sastra. Our insignificant brain power can never begin to approach even the Lord's illusory energy, what to speak of the risible idea that we can generate anything original when our every though and action is executed strictly under the impassable control of the Lord in His form as Paramatma. For the further enlightenment of lovers of truth and beauty I attach the following quote. yuktam ca santi sarvatra bhasante brahmana yatha mayam madiyam udgrhya vadatam kim nu durghatam TRANSLATION “‘In almost all cases, whatever learned brähmaëas speak becomes accepted; nothing is impossible for one who takes shelter of My illusory energy and speaks under her influence.’” PURPORT In this verse from Srimad-Bhagavatam (11.22.4), the Supreme Personality of Godhead (Lord Krsna) explains that His illusory energy can perform the impossible; such is the power of the illusory energy. In many cases philosophical speculators have covered the real truth and have boldly set forth false theories. In ancient times philosophers like Kapila, Gautama, Jaimini, Kanada and similar brahmanas propounded useless philosophical theories, and in modern days so-called scientists are setting forth many false theories about the creation, backed up by seemingly logical arguments. This is all due to the influence of the Supreme Lord’s illusory energy. The illusory energy, therefore, sometimes appears correct because it is emanating from the Supreme Correct. To avoid the very bewildering illusory influence, one must accept the words of the Supreme Personality of Godhead as they are. Only then can one escape the influence of the illusory energy.
