Bhagavad-gita As It Is Lectures

They are brain has been full with hodgepodge things. Therefore they cannot take Kṛṣṇa consciousness so . . . of course, at heart, in India everyone feels for Kṛṣṇa, but they have been educated in such a wrong way, they cannot accept Kṛṣṇa as the Supreme, as Kṛṣṇa says, mattaḥ parataraṁ nānyat. This is the difficulty.

The Vedānta-sūtra also says, janmādy asya yataḥ anvayāt (SB 1.1.1). The Bhāgavata explains, janmādy asya yataḥ anvayāt itarataś ca artheṣu abhijñaḥ sva-rāṭ. He's abhijñaḥ. He knows everything. Janmādy asya yataḥ. That is Kṛṣṇa. And Arjuna accepted. Arjuna said, in the Tenth Chapter, sarvam etad ṛtaṁ manye yad vadasi keśava (BG 10.14): "My dear Kṛṣṇa, whatever You are saying, I accept in toto." This is understanding of Bhagavad-gītā. Try to understand Bhagavad-gītā as it is. Kṛṣṇa says, mattaḥ parataraṁ nānyat: "There is no more superior being or superior authority than Me." If you accept that, "There is no more superior authority or supreme being than Kṛṣṇa," then you study Bhagavad-gītā. And if you cut the head and the tail and accept something and reject something, that is not Bhagavad-gītā. Take it as it is. Therefore we are presenting Bhagavad-gītā as it is, not curtailing this or that, "This meaning is that; that meaning is that." No such nonsense. We accept . . . this is Kṛṣṇa consciousness movement. Kṛṣṇa says that He is the supreme authority. We are preaching, "Kṛṣṇa is the supreme authority." Where is the difficulty? We don't manufacture anything. We don't say: "I am the supreme authority." No. I am rascal. I am fool. I am imperfect. But Kṛṣṇa is Supreme, Kṛṣṇa is perfect. That is our preaching: as servant of Kṛṣṇa.

Therefore, because you are presenting Kṛṣṇa as He is, therefore our preaching is perfect. I may be imperfect, but our preaching is not imperfect. It is very simple. We are preaching all over the world, "Kṛṣṇa is the Supreme Personality of Godhead." And these foreign boys and girls who are after me, they also accept. They do not say that "Here is another God, sir. Why you are asking?" That is the difficulty in India. As soon as we shall say, "Kṛṣṇa is the Supreme Lord, Kṛṣṇa is the . . . there is no more superior person than Kṛṣṇa," others will say: "No, why this gentleman is not superior than Kṛṣṇa?" That is the difficulty. They'll not accept. They are brain has been full with hodgepodge things. Therefore they cannot take Kṛṣṇa consciousness so . . . of course, at heart, in India everyone feels for Kṛṣṇa, but they have been educated in such a wrong way, they cannot accept Kṛṣṇa as the Supreme, as Kṛṣṇa says, mattaḥ parataraṁ nānyat. This is the difficulty.
