Am appreciating how the masters I have been able to study
defeat those with misconceptions.
defeat those with misconceptions.
Srila Bhaktisiddhanta Saraswati was faced with Brahmanism
as a barrier to Vaishnavism in His time.
With reference after reference to support the Vaishnava philosophy
He proved beyond any doubt the Vaishnava conclusions.
But He did it in such a way as to not crush the defeated.
That their understanding was valid to a point
but showing where it fell short and
to simply to put things in their proper place.
A loving chastisement meant set them straight not to destroy them.

Similarly Srila Jiva Goswami. Reference after reference to establish the Personality of Godhead as the sumum bonum...
faced as He was in his time with the strong Mayavada doctrines.
Utterly defeating the Mayavada philosophy...
showing it's limitations in such a way as to not destroy anyone.
Simply to put things in proper perspective...
a loving chastisement to set them on the right path.
