Indian man: . . . stayed with the devotees in the temple . . .

Prabhupāda: Hmm?

Indian man: . . . and reached the peace of mind which I was not able to get, whole of my life, I was able to achieve by staying in your temple myself. You know for example I am in my own . . . (break)

Prabhupāda: As soon as you speak plain truth they will go away. (laughter) If you go on flattering, then they will stay. What is that? If you make Transcendental Meditation you will increase your sex power and . . .

Indian: Rajneesh said that.

Prabhupāda: Eh?

Indian: Rajneesh said that.

Devotee: Less blood-pressure.

Prabhupāda: Hmm?

Devotee: He said last night, less blood-pressure, from meditation.

Prabhupāda: Yes. Less blood-pressure. The difficulty is that we want to be cheated, and there are so many cheaters. There are cheaters—if they find, "Here is a man he can be easily cheated," he takes advantage. But mostly they want to be cheated. As soon as you say that "You surrender to Kṛṣṇa," he will not take it very nice. "Why shall I surrender?" Is it not? What do you think? "This is too much." That means he wants to be cheated, and if somebody comes, "Why shall you surrender to Kṛṣṇa? You are independent. Why you are taking . . . why you are becoming dependent on God? You are working hard. Why you are giving credit to God." Yes. Big, big sannyāsī has said like this.

Indian lady: If they say like that, then they are not sannyāsīs in the real sense of the word.

Prabhupāda: He is a rascal. He is a rascal . . .

Indian lady: They are not sannyāsīs in the real sense of the word.

Prabhupāda: Na māṁ duṣkṛtino mūḍhāḥ prapadyante narādhamāḥ. This is the description. They do not surrender and they do not teach others to surrender. Then what they are? The formula is there:

na māṁ duṣkṛtino mūḍhāḥ

prapadyante narādhamāḥ

māyayāpahṛta-jñānā

āsuraṁ bhāvam āśritāḥ

(BG 7.15)

One who does not surrender to Kṛṣṇa, they are described in this verse as duṣkṛtinaḥ, means most sinful; mūḍhāḥ, rascal; narādhamāḥ, lowest of the mankind. "No, no. They are sannyāsī, very learned scholar." Māyayāpahṛta-jñānā: they have lost their knowledge by the influence of māyā. Why it is so? Āsuraṁ bhāvam āśritāḥ. The root cause is that he is in rebellion against God. You'll find this rebellious men 99.9%. Rebellious. "Ha, what is God? I am God." You'll find. If you hold meeting that "Why you are after God? You are God. You will realize by meditate . . . by transcendental meditation you will become God, you are God." In this way if you bluff, thousands of people will come to hear your lecture, and as soon as you say: "God is there, and Kṛṣṇa is God. You surrender to Him," "Oh, these are old fools. Primitive." Kyo, hai ki nahi boliye. Yehi baat to chal raha hai tab se. Aur aap boliye god nahi hai vo anyaya hai aur agar bol diya ki Krishna god hai to koi nahi. Ye sectarian. (Why is it not, tell me. This is what has been going on for ages. And if you say God does not exist, then it is injustice and if you say Kṛṣṇa is God then nothing. This is sectarian.) This is the position. Ayiye. (Please come.) Real understanding—to hear and to think over the matter. Tad viddhi. Viddhi means understand.

tad viddhi praṇipātena

paripraśnena sevayā

(BG 4.34)

It is already there, Kṛṣṇa says. (break) Why he is wasting his time and money like that? It is already there: tathā dehāntara-prāptir (BG 2.13). Kṛṣṇa says. That means he does not believe in Kṛṣṇa. He is becoming more than Kṛṣṇa.

Indian: Also he has collected so many facts.

Prabhupāda: Why? What is the use of collecting facts if the fact is already there?

Indian (2): Not it is there.

Indian: It will be of some use to others, who don't believe.

Prabhupāda: Don't believe in the rascals, mūḍhāḥ. So you can try for the mūḍhās. That is another thing. And waste your time.

Indian (2): . . . (indistinct)

Prabhupāda: But the fact is there already, any intelligent man can understand. Why . . . if they are trying for the mūḍhās, the mūḍhās will never understand.

Devotee: Huh.

Indian: So which way is better, bhakti mārga or karma mārga?

Prabhupāda: No mārga. Knowledge first of all.

Indian: Knowledge and then . . .

Prabhupāda: This is knowledge. Kṛṣṇa begins Bhagavad-gītā with this knowledge. Because Arjuna showed the symptoms as if he is not in knowledge, therefore He chastised him:

aśocyān anvaśocas tvaṁ

prajñā-vādāṁś ca bhāṣase

(BG 2.11)

"My dear Arjuna, you are talking just like very learned man, but," gatāsūn agatāsūṁś ca nānuśocanti paṇḍitāḥ, "the subject matter which you have taken, this body, and you are lamenting about this body—'The body of my brother will be finished, my this will be finished, this will happen, this will happen'—only on the bodily concept." So this body, either when there is life or when there is no life, gatāsūn agatāsūṁś nānuśocanti paṇḍ . . . "This is not the subject matter of a learned scholar to study this body. It is a lump of matter. Try to understand what is within the body."

dehino 'smin yathā dehe

kaumāraṁ yauvanaṁ jarā

tathā dehāntara-prāptir

dhīras tatra na . . .

(BG 2.13)

This is the beginning of knowledge. One who does not know this knowledge, his knowledge has no value, nānuśocanti paṇḍitāḥ. He is not a paṇḍita. In another place it is confirmed, yasyātma-buddhiḥ kuṇape tri-dhātuke. One who is accepting this body, as self. Eh?

sva-dhīḥ kalatrādiṣu bhauma ijya-dhīḥ

yat-tīrtha-buddhiḥ salile na karhicij

janeṣv abhijñeṣu sa eva go-kharaḥ

(SB 10.84.13)

One who is accepting this body . . . the whole world is going on. This is the subject matter of our preaching, that "You are not this body, you are soul. You are part and parcel of God. Do like this." This is Kṛṣṇa consciousness movement. This is the beginning of understanding. But everyone is under this concept that, "I am this body." "I am Hindu, "I am Muslim," "I am Indian," "I am American," "I am this," "I am that." So on this basic principle of ignorance there cannot be any knowledge. You may be research scholar and this scholar, that scholar. This is a no . . . no. It is not the fieldwork of knowledge. (aside:) Hmm. Bring one knife.

Indian: Svāmī, svāmī, how to cultivate the concentration, and what is the . . . (indistinct)

Prabhupāda: Concentration . . . you are doing other businesses with concentration. You are doing work in the office with concentration. You are studying things with concentration. Similarly, you have to bring concentration for understanding what you are. Where is the difficulty?

Indian: Concentration towards to higher . . .

Prabhupāda: Yes, concentration means if you study your body. Eh? So "What I am?" This subject matter you study, analyze your body. It is very easy, what is this body. First of all your breathing. Study what is his breathing. You'll say . . . you'll understand it is nothing but air. Do you think that breathing is life? Because this breathing, it is air, so when the breathing is stopped you can replace it by some mechanical arrangement. It is coming through the nose. But does it mean you can bring life? Hmm? So you study your breathing, you study your blood, you study your bone, you study your everything, whatever you have got, this combination—you'll find no life there. Then you understand that life is different from this material combination. This is concentration. You can do. It is very easy to analyze your whole body, and you'll find that that there is no life in these material ingredients, that life is different from this bodily combination. That is explained in the Bhagavad-gītā: apareyam itas tv viddhi me prakṛtiṁ parā (BG 7.5). These material ingredients, they are inferior, aparā. There is a superior, superior thing, itas tv viddhi me prakṛtiṁ parā. What is that? Jīva-bhūtā, that is living entity. So you can study your own thing, if you take Kṛṣṇa's instruction. Now Kṛṣṇa says like this, what is your objection? It is Hindu conception or Muslim conception? It is for everyone.

Indian: Concentration is just . . . (indistinct Hindi)

Prabhupāda: Hmm.

Indian: A child's concentration is just, the other . . .

Prabhupāda: (aside) Hmm. You cannot cut it?

Devotee: The knife is not very sharp . . .

Prabhupāda: Eh?

Devotee: The knife is not very sharp.

Indian: Hmm, that is not the way to cut it.

Prabhupāda: Hmm?

Indian: Take out this slice, some slice . . .

Prabhupāda: Yes.

Indian: . . . and cut it into two pieces.

Prabhupāda: Yes. You do not know how to cut. One who knows, let him cut.

Indian: Take out a full slice.

Prabhupāda: Thoda dikha do. (Show him a little how to cut.)

Indian: . . . (indistinct Hindi)

Prabhupāda: Tad-vijñānārthaṁ gurum evābhigacchet (MU 1.2.12). (laughter)

Devotee (2): This is sharp.

Prabhupāda: Everything requires a guru; otherwise he remains a fool, rascal, that's all. Do usko do. (Give it to him.)

Indian: . . . nahi hoga. (. . . is not possible.)

Prabhupāda: Prasad ka zyada box hai. Do na do do. (There are many boxes of prasadam, give to him.) Hmm. Ab dekhiye. (Now you see.) In every item you require a guru. And to understand Kṛṣṇa, or God, everyone is independent. (laughter) Just see the foolishness. Yata mata tata patha. "Ah, you consider about your own God. It doesn't require any guru." This foolishness is going on. For cutting a mango he requires a guru, and to understand Kṛṣṇa, he doesn't require a guru. This foolishness is going on. And Kṛṣṇa says:

tad viddhi praṇipātena

paripraśnena sevayā

upadekṣyanti tad jñānaṁ

jñāninas tattva-darśinaḥ

(BG 4.34)

Kṛṣṇa says you have to understand, like this. But everyone is thinking, "Why shall I go to guru?" (aside) Aur kato. (Cut some more.) What is this? Take this. Oh, that's all . . .

Indian: Vegetable . . . (indistinct Hindi)

Child: . . . (indistinct Hindi)

Devotee (2): She just left.

Indian: Ācchā.

Prabhupāda: Why left?

Indian: Ghar me kuch log aaye. (Some guests have come home.)

Prabhupāda: Just see how he has cut. It requires a guru. (laughter) Here, this morning, I was citing that a brahmacārī should be very expert, dakṣā. Was I not explaining?

Devotee: Behavior.

Prabhupāda: So if you do not become expert, then there is deficiency. (aside) No, distribute this. First of all finish that, then . . . keep it, give everyone. One piece, everyone.

Devotee: We cut it up smaller.

Prabhupāda: Hmm.

Devotee: For everyone, a little smaller.

Prabhupāda: No small. Give him. No, no, that's right. Hmm. Sab cheez Bhagavad-Gita me hai. Usko theek-theek se padhe aur usme concentrate kare to sab gyan ho jayega. (All knowledge is there in the Bhagavad-gītā. One must read it scrutinizingly and concentrate on it, then all knowledge will come.) But if he wants to remain a fool, rascal, what can be done? Every direction is there, and it is given by Kṛṣṇa for this purpose, that when He will be absent, this is left for their study; they will get knowledge. Thoda uske haat me pani do. Idhar aao, neeche jane ka zaroorat nahi, idhar dega pani. Okhan balti me jal aache? Dala. (Put a little water on his hands. Come here. No no, there is no need to go down, he will give water here. Is there water in that bucket? Put some.) We are simply canvassing that "You understand Bhagavad-gītā as it is and you get all knowledge." This is our Kṛṣṇa consciousness. Haat dho ke aao . . . (Wash your hands and come . . .) This is our mission. We are not manufacturing anything. That is not our purpose. As others are manufacturing the ways of realization, we don't do that. This is not our behavior, because we know we are personally defective. We are all fools. But what I am speaking, that is not defective—that is perfect, because we are speaking Kṛṣṇa's word. Hmm. That is not defective, that is perfect. So we are teaching our preachers that, "Don't say anything defective. Simply say what Kṛṣṇa has spoken. That is perfect." And whatever little success is there, only on account of this, that we don't manufacture anything, we simply present what Kṛṣṇa has said. Some imaginary . . . ek-ek sab manufacture karke bade-bade sab swami, yogi ye sab jata hai. Apna time bhi barbad karta hai aur doosro ka time bhi barbad karta hai. Ye sab chal raha hai. (Each one manufactures their own, the big big swamis, yogis go and preach. They waste their time and also waste the time of others.) If the tree already is there, why should we manufacture and research? What is this research?

Devotee: . . . (indistinct)

Prabhupāda: There are millions and millions of living entities, and they are making research in the laboratory how to produce life from matter. Just see. How rascaldom is going on. What credit you will get? Suppose you, in the laboratory, you produce one life from matter. Suppose. You have not done it, suppose you do it. Then what is credit to you? There are already millions and millions of lives. We are overcrowded. (laughter) And this rascal is trying to produce a life in the laboratory. Just see, how rascal they are.

Indian: We may be thinking only God can produce this, but . . .

Prabhupāda: No, no, apart from God, but what credit you'll get if already there are millions and millions of living entities all around? What credit you will get, suppose in the test tube you create one life in the laboratory? Who will give you credit? Only the fools and rascals will give. I will not give. We know that already there are so many lives. So we give that person who has created so many lives. Why shall I give you credit? Hmm? There are millions and millions of goldmines, eh? So I shall give the credit to Him, or a rascal producing a little piece of gold I shall give him credit? If gold producing is so important that one who has created millions and millions of mines of gold . . .

Devotee: Śrīla Prabhupāda . . .

Prabhupāda: . . . he is to take credit . . . (aside) Oh, come on . . . (laughter) He is to take credit, or one who has produced a little piece of gold, he is to take credit? Boliye, whom I shall give credit? Last year I went to South America, er, Africa. In the Johannesburg city there are so many goldmines. In the city, so many goldmines. So who has created this gold? (aside) Thank you. So many goldmines I have seen. And this is in one planet, there are millions of planets there are also goldmines. Who has created this gold? Somebody has created. So whom shall I give credit? . . . (indistinct Hindi) . . . or this?

Indian (2): I think by jñāna mārga they are working with Kṛṣṇa.

Prabhupāda: What is jñāna? If they do not take the jñāna given by Kṛṣṇa, what is jñāna-mārga? It is ajñāna-mārga. Kṛṣṇa is giving you jñāna—you refuse to take it—and what is your jñāna-mārga?

Indian (2): As your disciple knows, they were spreading . . .

Prabhupāda: No disciple or your disciple. I say that if there is jñāna already, so if you don't accept it, then what is your jñāna mārga then?

Indian (2): No, they accept the jñāna, and then they utilize it . . .

Indian: What is the meaning of jñāna?

Indian (2): Huh?

Indian: What is the definition of jñāna?

Indian (2): No, I mean what is the fact?

Prabhupāda: So what do you think, fact?

Indian (2): After seeing the mountain, they found that it, how the mountain is built, and they have created cement. So we can build houses, just like Kṛṣṇa's agent. Likewise I humbly think that in jñāna mārga they seem to work, those who are doing it.

Prabhupāda: To manufacture cement?

Indian (2): No. Manufacturing anything, they are also going with Kṛṣṇa, going with the nature. They are not going against the nature. And we, or one people are going against nature, and so we are suffering. If we are sick, doctor advises to go with the nature.

Prabhupāda: (aside) Thank you. Hmm. Jñāna mārga, if you actually in knowledge, that is jñāna mārga. But if you not in knowledge, that is not jñāna mārga.

Indian (2): (several talking simultaneously)

Prabhupāda: Eh?

Indian: Knowledge of the self is jñāna mārga.

Prabhupāda: Yes, that is the first knowledge.

Indian: It is not in . . . (indistinct)

Prabhupāda: Yes. First of all you have to know what you are. Because you are trying to adjust things to mitigate your distress and increasing your happiness. This is the struggle. Everyone is struggle for minimizing distress or making zero distress and getting happiness. But do you think in this world this is obtained, this stage is achieved, that there is no distress, only happiness? Then what is your jñāna mārga? If there is still distress, then what is your jñāna mārga? That means ajñāna mārga. You are trying, making research, to banish distress and get happiness, but if you have not gained that position, then where is your jñāna mārga? Who has obtained that position that there is no distress, simply happiness? Is there anybody here? Everyone says: "Oh, I am so much distressed." Then where is jñāna mārga?

Indian: But there's nothing wrong in enquiring into the . . .

Prabhupāda: No, you can waste your time . . .

Indian: . . . into the nature.

Prabhupāda: That is another thing. That is another foolishness. That is another foolishness. If you search out in your own way, moghāśā mogha-karmāṇo mogha-jñānā vicetasaḥ (BG 9.12). If you do not know the way, then what is the use? You will be baffled. You will be baffled. Suppose in the airplane, if you do not know which side I shall go to Calcutta, then you will be baffled. He must know which side—north, east, west, the latitude, longitude—then the pilot is expert. Suppose I am on the plane, and the pilot is there. Without pilot we are all bewildered. We do not know. Suppose if somehow or other on the plane the pilot is finished, then see what is your condition. Your all jñāna mārga will be finished.

Indian (2): You can't go then. (laughter)

Prabhupāda: So without pilot there is no jñāna mārga.

Indian: Ye gyan marga do prakar ka bataya jata hai kya? (Is this path of knowledge described as two types?)

Prabhupāda: Gyan marg do prakar ka, ek mūrkha mārga hota hai, gyan marg hota hai. Jo gyan marg me hai nahi vo moorkha marg me hai bus. Agar moorkh marg ko koi gyan marg samajh le to do number ka moorkh hai. Double mūrkha hai. This is going on. Gyan marg ka arth hota hai jo gyani hai uske baat se chalo to gyan marg hai. Do bnanaya hai. Agar aeroplane me kisi tarah se hai wo pilot khatam ho jata hai . . . aise to chidiya bhi bana leta hai apna nest, uska bhi gyan hai. Wo bhi janta hai ek chota-chota . . . leyakarke kaise apna nest bana leta hai. Aap dekha hai babui ek pakshi hoti hai wo apna kaisa ek ghar bana leti hai. Aisa gyan chidiya me hai, cheeti me hai, wo aap se kuch farak nahi hai. "Aahar, nidra, bhaya, maithun" ye gyan sab me hai. Ye na samajhiye ki ye gyan aap hi me hai cement bana ke skyscraper bana diya. Wo gyan sab me hai, apna - apna aavashyata ke anusar sab apna bana lete hain. Wo gyan marg nahi hai.Tad vijñānam, it is said. The ordinary jñāna is not recommended. Tad vijñānam. Viśeṣa jñāna, or scientific knowledge, that is wanted. Aur aisa gyan chor ka bhi gyan hota hai kis tarah se chori karna hai, jo chori karta hai wo moorkh nahi hota hai, bada gyani hota hai. Kis tarah se chori karna hai, usko gyani bola jayega? Bada accha gyani chor hai ji, isko PhD card de do. Ye gyan nahi hai (laughter) Etad jñānam. Just see what is jñānam. Eh. Kisko gyan bolta hai suniye. (The path of knowledge is of two types. One is the fool's path and the other is the knowledge path. One who is not in the path of knowledge is on the fool's path, that's all. If someone considers the fool's path as the path of knowledge then he is number two fool, he is a double fool. This is going on. The meaning of the knowledge path is when one follows the words of the realized soul, that is the path of knowledge. This way even a bird can make a nest, it is also knowledgeable, it also knows that by collecting small small twigs how it builds its nest. Have you seen a bird called Babui? That builds its home, such knowledge the birds have got, an ant has got. It is not different from us. "Aahar nidra bhaya maithun, all this knowledge everyone has got. Don't think that only you have this knowledge, make cement and build a skyscraper. This knowledge is there in everyone. According to their requirements they will use it. That is not the path of knowledge. And similar knowledge even a thief has, how to steal, and a thief who steals is not a fool, he is very intelligent, how to steal, so can a thief be called realized? Very nice realized thief sir, award him a PhD title. This is not knowledge. who is called realized, just listen.) Amānitvam adambhitvam, in the Thirteenth Chapter you will find, amānitvam adambhitvam (BG 13.8).

Indian: . . . (indistinct)

Prabhupāda: Ahiṁsā kṣāntir ārjavam, ācāryopāsanaṁ. Hmm. Read it.

Devotee: There's five verses together.

Prabhupāda: Eh?

Devotee:

amānitvam adambhitvam

ahiṁśā kṣāntir ārjavam

ācāryopāsanaṁ śaucaṁ

sthairyam ātma-vinigrahaḥ

indriyārtheṣu vairāgyam

anahaṅkāra eva ca

janma-mṛtyu-jarā-vyādhi-

vivikta-deśa-sevitvam

aratir jana-saṁsadi

adhyātma-jñāna-nityatvaṁ . . .

(BG 13.8-12)

Prabhupāda: Adhyātma-jñāna-nityatvaṁ. Then?

Devotee:

adhyātma-jñāna-nityatvaṁ

tattva-jñānārtha-darśanam

Prabhupāda: Hmm.

Devotee: Etaj jñānam iti proktam . . .

Prabhupāda: Etaj jñānam. This is jñāna. Or all rascals.

Indian: Etaj jñānam, vijñānaṁ.

Prabhupāda: Ye jñānam. Or all rascaldom. Etaj jñānam . . .

Devotee: Iti proktam.

Prabhupāda: . . . iti proktam. This is accepted knowledge. And then?

Devotee: Ajñānaṁ yad ato 'nyathā.

Prabhupāda: Ah. Except this, all are ajñānam, all rascaldom. The cement manufacturer is a rascal, and the atom bomb rascal—all rascal. And here is jñāna. Etaj jñānam. Everything is there. Etaj jñānam. Then? Yad ato 'nyathā ajñānaṁ. Is it not?

Devotee: Ha.

Prabhupāda: Hmm.

Devotee: Etaj jñānam iti proktam ajñānaṁ yad ato . . .

Prabhupāda: Anyathā.

Indian: Anyathā.

Prabhupāda: Iti proktam, it is accepted this is jñāna. Yad anyathā ajñānaṁ.

Indian: What was going on just now, for a long time . . .

Prabhupāda: Hmm.

Indian: . . . was just meditation, without knowledge, which actually . . .

Prabhupāda: This is meditation.

Indian: No, which was actually speculation.

Prabhupāda: Hmm.

Indian: Meditation with knowledge, that becomes devotion.

Prabhupāda: Yes, knowledge you have to receive from the person who knows. That is knowledge.

Indian: If I question someone . . .

Prabhupāda: If you manufacturer knowledge, that is ignorance.

Indian: So if it was just meditation but without the air of knowledge . . .

Prabhupāda: Yes, meditation means . . .

Indian: . . . it was just speculation . . .

Prabhupāda: Hmm. Meditation . . .

Indian: . . . and we were just speculating in different directions.

Prabhupāda: . . . that is defined, that dhyānāvasthita-tad-gatena (SB 12.13.1). Dhyānāva, this is meditation. So this is meditation, dhyānāvasthita-tad-gatena manasā paśyanti yaṁ yoginaḥ (SB 12.13.1). Yogī, they want to see Paramātmā. Īśvaraḥ sarva-bhūtānāṁ (BG 18.61), Īśvara is there, so yoga means to find out that īśvaraḥ within the heart. That is real yoga.

Indian: The effort was there, but they were just speculating.

Prabhupāda: No, effort, any effort, if you do not follow . . .

Indian: Yes . . .

Prabhupāda: . . . the instruction of higher authority, this is useless effort. Simply waste of time. You cannot become by your own effort a medical man. That is not possible. You have to go to the medical college, you have to learn under the medical man—then you become a medical man. Otherwise, if you sit down at home and meditate on medical science, what you will get? You will simply waste your time. First of all know what is jñānam. The first jñāna is amānitvam. What is the meaning is there?

Devotee: Humility.

Prabhupāda: Humility. The first requisition is humility that, "I have no knowledge; I have to go to somebody who has knowledge." This is humility. And if you think, "I have got very advanced knowledge. Why shall I go to anyone?" there is no entrance in knowledge. He is finished in the beginning. "amānitvam adambhitvam ahimsa shanti aarjavam" everything is there. This is gyanam, etad gyanam proktam agyanam yad anyatha. And as soon as we debate these fools think we are in agyanam, foolish. So while gyanam is there, shy we should become agyanam.

Prabhupāda: Yes, ārati.

Gopāla Kṛṣṇa: Aarti chal rahi hai mandir me, sab aaiyega. (Arati is going on in the temple, everyone should come.)

Devotee: All glories to Śrīla Prabhupāda!

Prabhupāda: Hare Kṛṣṇa. Thank you.

Devotees: (offer obeisances)

Prabhupāda: Yes, also. (break) Everyone should become a preacher.

Devotee: Sometime we should go to Bihar also?

Prabhupāda: Why not? Pṛthivīte āche yata nagarādi grāma (Caitanya Bhāgavata). (aside) Thank you. Hare Kṛṣṇa. (end)
