This world is false and brahman is truth

Since there is variety and form in this world, the spiritual

Since the Supreme is all-pervading, He cannot be a
person

I am God – or everyone is God

Either envious of Krsna or ignorant of Krsna
(BG 9.11)

and

study

of the Vedas (Upanisads) distinguishing between matter
