Srimad-Bhagavatam Lectures

Just try. Of course, you are going to preach; you must understand. Discuss everything very nicely. Be convinced on your own argument and philosophy. Then you can preach. You don't be in doubts and hazardous way. Whatever question you are putting, just try to understand them very nicely, without any doubt.

Girl devotee: She likes the Bhagavad-gītā.

Prabhupāda: Oh. Hmm. Just try. Of course, you are going to preach; you must understand. Discuss everything very nicely. Be convinced on your own argument and philosophy. Then you can preach. You don't be in doubts and hazardous way. Whatever question you are putting, just try to understand them very nicely, without any doubt. So is that your question is answered or not?

Girl devotee: Yes.

Prabhupāda: Clear? Your question is clear? And your question? Yes. So you learn how to answer. We have got answer for everyone. The major question is that the demons, they want to become God. Let them explain what the demon means by the word God. If he comes under that definition, then we shall accept him God.

But if there is no idea of God, then his claim is false. Just like I am in your country. If I falsely claim, "I am citizens of America," how can I be accepted? You can be accepted as citizen of America because there is a definition of the word "citizens of America." So your position comply with that definition—you can be accepted as citizens of America.

And my position does not comply with that definition; therefore I am not citizen. So in this way. "All right, I accept you God, but what is your definition of God?" Just ask him to explain. What do they say "God" means? What does he mean, "God"? What do they explain? Did you not ask? What do they say?

Devotee: He said God means everything, and they say that God is everywhere.

Prabhupāda: "Are you everywhere? Now you are on the street. Are you in your home?"

Devotee (2): Some people say they are, though. They say: "I am everything."

Prabhupāda: That's all right. Are you President Johnson? If you are everything, then why you are abiding by the state laws? You are under the state laws. If you say in the police station, "I am everything. You cannot say anything," (chuckles) will it be accepted? So how do you say you are everything? You are crazy. Yes.

Girl devotee: That's what it comes down to, really.

Prabhupāda: So if you are not crazy, then we can talk with you. You are crazy. How you are everything? Prove that you are everything. What is the answer? What should be the answer that he is everything? Simply by claiming? If you simply falsely claim that, "I am everything of this city. Everything belongs to me," will that stabilize him, that he is everything? Then? How you are everything? Prove it.
