Prabhupāda: He could take. So Arjuna was fortunate to go in this body, to go to the spiritual world and see it and come back again.
David Lawrence: One other thing that interested me was the idea that Arjuna was in some way ...
Prabhupāda: Friend.
David Lawrence: ...deliberately, if you like, deliberately misguided, planned almost to be misguided in the Bhagavad-gītā. How, how is this work, like...?
Prabhupāda: If he does not be... He was purposefully misguided so that he could put question like a misguided man...
David Lawrence: Yes.
Prabhupāda: ...and the right answer may come from Kṛṣṇa. It is for our benefit. He's not misguided.
David Lawrence: No.
Prabhupāda: But he played the part of misguided.
David Lawrence: Yes. What we would say and...
Prabhupāda: Yes. Just like a person is playing in the stage as a fool, but he may be very educated man. So... But for the dramatic expression of talks, he might play as a fool. Similarly Arjuna's position is... How...? He cannot be misguided; he's personal friend of Kṛṣṇa.
David Lawrence: Yes.
Prabhupāda: He cannot be misguided.
David Lawrence: But it was for our benefit.
Prabhupāda: But... And nobody can talk with Kṛṣṇa also. Nobody is so qualified. So somebody who would talk with Kṛṣṇa who must be very qualified, but he's playing the part of a befooled man. Otherwise, he's not misguided. He knows everything. Yes.
