The philosophy that the Absolute is true and this creation is - TopicsExpress



          

The philosophy that the Absolute is true and this creation is false (brahma satyam jagan mithya) is not accepted by Vaisnava philosophers. The example is given that although all that glitters is not gold, this does not mean that a glittering object is false. For example, an oyster shell appears to be golden. This appearance of golden hue is due only to the perception of the eyes, but that does not mean that the oyster shell is false. Similarly, by seeing the form of Lord Krishna one cannot understand what He actually is, but this does not mean that He is false. The form of Krishna has to be understood as it is described in the books of knowledge such as Brahma-samhita. Isvarah paramah Krishnah sac-cid-anandavigrahah: Krishna, the Supreme personality of Godhead, has an eternal, blissful spiritual body.
