Theme Analysis
The philosophical essence of this category vigorously refutes the modern atheistic trend of manufacturing false gods or claiming that the Supreme Personality of Godhead is a cheap commodity. Śrīla Prabhupāda explains that it has become a fashionable illusion for ordinary, conditioned souls to declare "I am God." However, God is not so cheap. The actual Supreme Lord is the master of infinite energies, creating and dissolving millions of universes simply by exhaling and inhaling. Conversely, a mundane rascal who is overwhelmed by a simple toothache cannot be God. Śrīla Prabhupāda severely condemns the Māyāvādī theory that one can become God through mystic yoga, labeling the acceptance of such cheap gods as pure atheism. To truly understand the Absolute Truth, one must abandon cheap sentiments, strictly follow the regulative principles, and study the great science of Kṛṣṇa consciousness.
- The Fashion of False Gods: Conditioned souls suffering under the stringent laws of material nature foolishly declare themselves to be the Supreme. Accepting these mundane rascals as incarnations is the height of atheism.
