Hare Krsna
Please accept my humble obeisance. All glories to Srila Prabhupada
.
What am I doing here?
So the Vaisnava philosophy is... They want to remain predominated by the supreme predominator. And the Mayavada philosophy, the monists, they want to merge into the predominator. Their idea is to become themselves predominator. When they fail to become predominator in this material world... We are all trying to become predominator. Everyone is trying. Bhokta. "I shall..." Competition is going on. You are predominator, say, for one thousands of worker or office clerk. Your office is so big. So I want to make my office bigger than you. So I want to become greater predominator than you. This is our competition, is going on. But none of us is actually predominator. We are all predominated. And because we do not know that "I can never be a predominator," therefore I am under illusion, maya.
