Viṣaya Vimūḍha Ār Māyāvādī Jan

Both materialists and illusionists (māyāvādīs) are devoid of devotion and maintain their lives in vain.

O Lord! At Your feet I pray that I will never associate with these two kinds of offenders.

se duwera madhye viṣayī tabu bhālo māyāvādī-saṅga nāhi māgi kono kālo se–those

Between the two of them, however, materialists are better. I never, ever, desire the association of illusionists.

When the hearts of materialists come into the association of sādhus, they easily attain devotion by the mercy of those devotees.

Once the contamination of illusionism has entered one’s heart, however, one’s heart becomes as hard as a thunderbolt by the influence of fallacious logic.

bhaktira swarūpa, āra `viṣaya’, `āśroy’ māyāvādī `anitya’ boliyā saba koy bhaktira–of devotion

The illusionists say that the Lord, His devotees, and devotion itself are non-eternal (and thus illusory).

hāne (sachchidānanda vigrahake māyāmaya baliyā kutarkāstra nikṣepa)– strike (saying the Lord’s eternal, conscious, ecstatic form is illusory, they hurl the weapon of their fallacious logic)

Fie on their pretence of service to Kṛṣṇa! Fie on their pretence of hearing and chanting Kṛṣṇa’s glories! Their prayers to Kṛṣṇa are like thunderbolts hurled at His divine body.

There is nothing more unfavourable to devotion than illusionism. Therefore, I never desire the association of illusionists.

bhakativinoda māyāvāda dūra kori vaiṣṇava-saṅgete baise nāmāśraya dhori’ bhakati-vinoda–Bhakti Vinod

Keeping illusionism far away, Bhakti Vinod remains in the association of devotees and takes shelter of the Name.
