English translation:

(34-037) “Ananta Śeṣa, Brahmā, Śiva, and the goddess of fortune always desire to obtain the service of that Supreme Lord whose servants carry out the creation, maintenance, and destruction of the material manifestation. Yet the shameless sannyāsī claims to be that Supreme Lord. A sannyāsī claims to be Nārāyaṇa even though he does not know who he is when he sleeps. The Vedas declare that Kṛṣṇa is the father of the entire universe, and the obedient son will respect his father.

Commentary: Gauḍīya-bhāṣya by Śrīla Bhaktisiddhānta Sarasvatī Ṭhākura:

In the Māyāvāda-śata-dūṣaṇī (7) it is stated:

sarva-jñaḥ sarva-darśī tribhuvanam akhilaṃ hasta yasyedṛśaṃtat sarveṣāṃ srṣṭi-rakṣālayam api kurute bhruvi-bhaṅgena sadyaḥ, ajñaḥ sāpekṣa-darśī tvam asi sa bhagavān sarva-lokaika sākṣīnānā tvaṃ vai sa eko jaḍa-malinataras tvaṃ hi naivaṃ vidhaḥ saḥ

“O friend, the Supreme is all-knowing, and He sees everything. From

Him, this entire astonishing and variegated material cosmos has emanated. He creates, maintains, and destroys the entire universe by a slight movement of His eyebrows. O friend, you are not like Him. You are ignorant of so many things, and your vision is limited, although you wish to see everything. The Supreme Lord is full of all opulences, and He is the ultimate witness who observes everyone. O friend, the individual living entities are numerous, but the Supreme is one only. You are stunted and impure because of material contact, but He remains always pure and free from the touch of matter. O friend, your nature is completely different from His in these ways.” Also in the Māyāvāda- śata-dūṣaṇī (67) it is stated:

lakṣmī-kāntaḥ prakaṭa paramānanda pūrṇām ṛtābdhiḥsevyo rudra prabhṛti vibudhair yasya pādāmbu gaṅgā,

sṛṣṭaiḥ pūrvaṃ sṛjati nikhilaṃ bhruvibhaṅgena sadyaḥso ‘haṃ vākyaṃ vadasi vata re jīva rakṣyo na rājā

“The Supreme Lord is the husband of the goddess of fortune. He is a nectarean ocean of transcendental bliss. Lord Śiva and all the great demigods serve Him. The sacred Ganges is water that has washed His feet. Before the material cosmos was manifested, He created everything in a moment simply by slightly moving His eyebrows. O individual spirit soul, your continual muttering of so ‘ham (`I am the Supreme’) is completely unreasonable and illogical. He is the supreme master, the monarch who rules all existence, and you are His small son, always dependent on His protection.”

In the Praśna Upaniṣad (2.11) it is stated: vayamādyasya dātāraḥ pitā tvaṃ mātariśva naḥ—“We are the givers of your food. You are the parent of the wind.” See Śrīmad Bhāgavatam, First Canto, Chapter One, verse 1 and Eleventh Canto, Chapter Five, verses 2 and 3. In the Māyāvāda-śata- dūṣaṇī (69) it is stated:

so ‘haṃ mā vada sevya-sevaka-tayā nityaṃ bhaja śrī-hariṃ tena syāt tava sad-gati dhruvam adhaḥ pāto bhaved anyathā

nānā-yoniṣu garbha-vāsa-viṣaye duḥkhaṃ mahat prāpyate svarge vā narake punaḥ punar aho jīva tvayā bhrāmyate

“O individual spirit soul, please give up this muttering of so ‘ham (`I am the Supreme’). Know that you are the eternal servant of Lord Hari, engage in His pure devotional service, and thus become qualified to enter the eternal spiritual world. If you reject the service of Lord Hari, you will fall down into the wombs of mothers in many different species and you will suffer great anguish as you wander among the hells and heavens of the material world.” In the Māyāvāda-śata-dūṣaṇī (73-74) it is also stated:

yasyaiva caitanya-lavena jīva jāto ‘si caitanya-vato vareṇyaḥ

mā bruhi so ‘haṃśaṭha kaḥ kṛtaghnād anyaḥ padaṃ vañcati hasta bhartuḥ?

nyastaḥśrī-parameśvareṇa kṛpayā caitanya-leśas tvayi tvaṃ tasmāt parameśvaraḥ svayam ahaṃ nāyāti vaktuṃśaṭha

labdhvā kaścana durjanaḥ khalu yathā hasty-aśva-pādātakaṃ bhūpādeva tadīya rāja-padavīṃ cakre grahītuṃ manaḥ

“By the mercy of the Supreme Personality of Godhead, the individual living entities are endowed with a tiny fragment of consciousness. O rascal Māyāvādī, do not, on this account, arrogantly proclaim, `I am actually the Supreme.’ By saying this, you have become like a criminal- minded person who obtains elephants, cavalry, and infantry from the king on the plea of begging for protection during a journey and then decides to use all those soldiers as his own personal army of bandits to plunder the king’s property on the royal roads.”
