Everything is Krishna; only ignorance makes us perceive separation from the divine whole.Listen — Srila Prabhupada Uvaca
Śyāmasundara: So today we're discussing the philosopher Hegel, a German philosopher. His basic method is that he wants to synthesize all opposites to arrive at the truth, and by doing so his conclusion was that everything that exists is reason, whatever exists is reason, whatever is real is rational, whatever is rational is real.
Prabhupāda: So, that means he wants to arrive at the absolute, that there is no duality. That is Ka. That is Ka. Because Ka says that His mission is to
protect the devotees, paritrya sdhn vinya ca duktm [Bg 4.8], and killing the demons. Ka actually did it. Just like He killed the Ptan, the great giant Ptan. Superficially He killed, but he [she] got salvation exactly like His mother. Ka gave Ptan a position like His mother Yaod. Then, what is the difference between loving Yaod and killing Ptan? Because He is absolute, whatever He does, it is good. God is good. So superficially you may see, "Now God is doing bad," but it is not bad, it is good. Therefore two opposing, viruddhatta samanvaya[?], the Sanskrit word is viruddhata samanvaya[?]. Coinciding two opposing elements, and that He can do. Therefore if he comes to Ka, he becomes Ka conscious, he surrenders to Ka, then his philosophical aim will be fulfilled.
Śyāmasundara: He saw that his predecessors had become increasingly abstract in their thinking, trying to find out what is the nature of substance, the essential substance, and they had reduced it to nothingness, practically.
Prabhupāda: Because they do not know, that is vairasana[?]. Nirkra, nirkra, the Sanskrit word... When one cannot actually specify what is the nature of God, what is the form of God, and by thinking, speculative speculating, they cannot come to the right conclusion, so out of frustration they say, "Oh, there is no God."
Śyāmasundara: Just like to analyze an object they would divide it up into smaller and smaller parts until they came to nothing.
Prabhupāda: But, the Absolute cannot be divided into parts. Naina chindanti astri, in the Bhagavad-gt. In the material thing, if you want to cut into pieces, that is possible, but a spiritual being, avyaya, inexhaustible, there is no
