tabe se 'advaita' nāma saphala āmāra
āniyā-bringing; kṛṣṇere-Lord Kṛṣṇa; karoṅ-I make; kīrtana-chanting of the holy name; sañcāra-advent; tabe-then; se-this; advaita-nondual; nāma-name; sa-phala-fulfilled; āmāra-My.
"My name, 'Advaita,' will be fitting if I am able to induce Kṛṣṇa to inaugurate the movement of the chanting of the holy name."
The nondualist Māyāvādī philosopher who falsely believes that he is nondifferent from the Lord is unable to call Him like Advaita Prabhu. Advaita Prabhu is nondifferent from the Lord, yet in His relationship with the Lord He does not merge in Him but eternally renders service unto Him as a plenary portion. This is inconceivable for Māyāvādīs because they think in terms of mundane sense perception and therefore think that nondualism necessitates losing one's separate identity. It is clear from this verse, however, that Advaita Prabhu, although retaining His separate identity, is nondifferent from the Lord.
