Volume 7 - Prabhupada

188 Sri Caitanya-caritamrta [Madhya-lila, Ch. 18nothing but a fragmental portion of the Supreme. In other words, he is nothingmore than an ordinary living being. He is never Narayar;a, just as a molecular portionof sunshine is never the sun itself. The living entity is nothing but a fragmentalpart of the Absolute Truth; therefore at no stage of perfection can a living entitybecome the Supreme Personality of Godhead. This Mayavada viewpoint is alwayscondemned by the Vair;tava school. Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu Himself protestedthis philosophy. When the Mayavadis accept sannyasa and consider themselvesNarayar;ta, they become so puffed up that they do not even enter the temple ofNarayar;a to offer respects, for they falsely think themselves Narayar;a Himself. AlthoughMayavadi sannyasis may offer respects to other sannyasis and addressthem as Narayar;a, they do not go to a Narayar;a temple and offer respects. TheseMayavadi sannyasis are always condemned and are described as demons. TheVedas clearly state that living entities are subordinate parts and parcels of thesupreme. Eko bahanarh yo vidadhati kaman: the Supreme Being, Krr;a, maintainsall living entities.TEXT 114i'JJi "'f
