The global snake like world spits out all kinds of poison , it is based on the ruthlessness of the snake who has no thoughts for its victim .This snake is sometimes taken for a rope that ties the whole world together in beneficial ways . It’s similar to the old Gaudia Vaisnava saying that persons in illusion take a snake for a rope .The Harinama Sankirtana movements of Sri Caitanya Mahāprabhu are utilising this global world because everyone can get the chance to hear the Gaudia Vaisnava acaryas and begin the chant the names of God , in this way the rope of knowledge will tie the world together in highly beneficial ways and bring the wisdom of scientific dualism to decapitate the snake like illusionists .When one chants the names of God, the Divine potency decends into the heart, and very quickly, one can easily learn to distinguish between the snake and rope .
The original purpose of rope snake analogy is as follows…
In Advaita Vedanta, the snake represents the material world, which is deemed completely illusory (mithya); when you turn on the light of knowledge, the snake vanishes because it never truly existed.
Gaudiya Vaishnava acharyas like Śrīla Bhaktivinoda Ṭhākura ,Srila Bhaktisiddhanta Sarasvati Goswami Maharaj and AC Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupāda strongly challenge this conclusion. They point out that for an illusion to happen, the object being imagined must actually exist somewhere in reality. You can not mistake a rope for a snake unless you already know what a real snake looks like. Therefore, the material world is not a figment of a non-existent imagination; it is a tangible, real manifestation of God’s energy.
