Krishna's eternally perfect knowledge declares individuals remain eternally individual, not imaginary illusions from ignorance.Listen — Srila Prabhupada Uvaca
Prabhupāda: Now, the next question is that the Māyāvādī philosophers, they say that "Because I am now covered in ignorance, therefore I see individuals." Yes.
Prabhupāda: Yes. My... This individual experience that you are Mr. Such-and-such, you are Mr.
Such-and-such, you are Mrs. Such-and-such, this individual experience is due to my ignorance. And generally, they give the example of a disease. I think it is called, medical terms, myopia.
Myopia means they see this moon in two. The eyes become so defective that whenever they see things, they see two.
Woman: Myopia is when you have to see very near. Prabhupāda: I said... It may not be myopia, but some disease. Woman: Astigmatism. Some sees, if somebody sees... Prabhupāda: Yes. Sometimes... Woman: Astigmatism.
In two, if somebody sees. Astigmatism. Prabhupāda: Yes. Woman: In two. Is it a sickness? Prabhupāda: Yes. It is sickness. Woman: In the eyes. Prabhupāda: Because, because the thing is one, but due to my disease of the eye, I see one thing, two.
That is a disease. There is a disease like that. So... Woman: Usually people who drink. Prabhupāda: Anyway, that's an abnormal condition. In abnormal condition sometimes we can see one thing into two, divided into two.
