Conversations and Morning Walks

1973 Conversations and Morning Walks

Hṛdayānanda: So who shall decide what the criteria is, to test?

Prabhupāda: God will decide. The God's book is there, Bhagavad-gītā. Just like two lawyers fighting. Who will decide? The law book will decide.

Prabhupāda: Our Kṛṣṇa consciousness movement, we are not speculating. We are accepting God the authority, and He's speaking about Himself. We are accepting. That is our position. Kṛṣṇa, Kṛṣṇa says, mattaḥ parataraṁ āsti (BG 7.7): "There is no more superior authority than Me." We accept it. Kṛṣṇa says, man-manā bhava mad-bhaktaḥ (BG 9.34): "You always think of Me. Become my devotee," we become. This is Kṛṣṇa consciousness. We are imperfect, but we accept the perfect; therefore we are perfect. We are imperfect. We don't say that we are God, or perfect. We are imperfect. But we accept the perfect version of the perfect; therefore we are perfect.

Hṛdayānanda: Well, then again they would say that many people say that they have perfect knowledge.

Prabhupāda: Eh?

Hṛdayānanda: Many, many different people say that they have the perfect information about God.

Prabhupāda: If they have, that's all right. But it should be tested whether they have got.

Hṛdayānanda: Tasted?

Prabhupāda: Yes. Whether you have got perfect information or I have got perfect information, that is to be tested. I have no objection if somebody says that, "I have got perfection, perfect information," but I'll have to see whether you have got. But I have no objection if you say. That is alright. Because if I have got perfect information, you may also have. There is no objection. But I have to test whether. Anybody can say: "I have passed M.A. examination." But I have to test whether he's actually M.A.

Hṛdayānanda: So who shall decide what the criteria is, to test?

Prabhupāda: God will decide. The God's book is there, Bhagavad-gītā. Just like two lawyers fighting. Who will decide? The law book will decide.

Umāpati: How will the judgment be rendered?

Prabhupāda: Yes.

Umāpati: How will the judgement be rendered . . .

Prabhupāda: Eh?

Umāpati: . . . they would ask.

Prabhupāda: Judgment will be rendered by law book.

Hṛdayānanda: They say they have their own law book.

Prabhupāda: No, that is kick on their face. (laughter) "You are rascals." As soon as he says, "I have got my law books," he's a rascal. He's a rascal. Kick on his face with boot.
