Avidvad-rudhi and vidvad-rudhi
Dear Swami Gaurangapada Maharaja,
Nityananda! Gauranga! Hare Krishna! Please accept my humble obeisances.
While reading Shri Chaitanya Bhagavata i am coming across two terms -
avidvad-rudhi, vidvad-rudhi -, which Shrila Bhaktisiddhanta Saraswati
Thakura Prabhupada repeatedly uses in His commenteries and which i
don't understand very well.
Here is one of the examples of the use of this two terms by His Divine Grace:
Commentary to Chaitanya Bhagavata, Madhya-lila, Chapter 13, Verse 263:
"...At that time the avidvad-rudhi of the living entity's words is
checked. Krishna's name is Krishna, and until other words that are
seperated from Krishna manifest through vidvad-rudhi, the living
entities invite inauspiciousness due to imagining such differences. In
this way the living entity attains aversion to Krishna and becomes
busy awarding different meanings to words. The philosophy of
acintya-bhedabheda removes the differences between avidvad-rudhi and
vidvad-rudhi of words and destroys the dualities in the conceivable
world of material enjoynment."
Please enlighten me on the meaning of these two terms: avidvad-rudhi
and vidvad-rudhi.
Thank You very much.
Matus
