Bhagavad-gita As It Is Lectures

What qualification you have got, you want to see God? Another rascal will say: "Yes, I will show you God. Come to me. I shall show you God." This is going on. One rascals inquires, "Can you show me God?" and the big rascal says: "Yes, come to me alone. I shall show you God." This business is going on. God-seeing is so cheap thing that any rascal comes, "Can you show me God?" and another rascal says: "Yes, come to me. In the evening I shall show you.".

So this is Vaiṣṇavism, to follow the previous ācārya. This is Vaiṣṇavism. Mahājano yena gataḥ sa panthāḥ (CC Madhya 17.186), dharmasya tattvaṁ nihitaṁ guhāyāṁ mahājano yena gataḥ . . . tarko 'pratiṣṭhaḥ śrutayo vibhinnā (Mahābhārata, Vana-parva 313.117). Tarko, if you are very great logician, you can argue, "Oh, why Kṛṣṇa can be God? I can be God." By logic you may defeat an ignorant devotee, but śāstra says by becoming a big logician, you cannot understand transcendental knowledge. Transcendental knowledge you have to understand by submitting, praṇipātena, tad viddhi praṇipātena (BG 4.34). First of all surrender. Tad viddhi. If you want to know this transcendental science, then you must fully surrender. This is first qualification. Tad viddhi praṇipātena paripraśnena sevayā. Three things. First surrender; then if you cannot understand, then you question.

Otherwise, you have no right to question from a Vaiṣṇava. Not that, "Can you show me God?" What qualification you have got, you want to see God? Another rascal will say: "Yes, I will show you God. Come to me. I shall show you God." This is going on. One rascals inquires, "Can you show me God?" and the big rascal says: "Yes, come to me alone. I shall show you God." This business is going on. God-seeing is so cheap thing that any rascal comes, "Can you show me God?" and another rascal says: "Yes, come to me. In the evening I shall show you." That means if he is a foolish rascal, then he will show him something magic, and he will understand, "Oh, I have seen God." That's all. Finished. God-seeing business is finished. And he comes . . . after God-seeing, he is the same, the same rascal. What improvement you have . . . you have seen God. What improvement you have made? God-seeing is so cheap thing? No.

So we should be very careful. If we actually are interested in understanding . . . manuṣyāṇāṁ. It is not so easy. In the Bhagavad-gītā you will find. Manuṣyāṇāṁ sahasreṣu kaścid yatati siddhaye (BG 7.3). Out of many millions of person, kaścid yatati siddhaye, one person becomes interested how to make his life successful. Because they do not know what is successful life. They simply know how to work like hogs and dogs, day and night working. And what is the goal of life? Now, sense gratification. Just like the hogs. Hogs, you will find, day and night finding out where is stool. And he will eat. And as soon as the hogs become very fatty, because they eat actually very substantial . . .
