1977 Conversations and Morning Walks

Prabhupāda: So there is no doubt about it that I am the representative of God.

Pṛthu-putra: . . . to show me. They were telling me that, "You are going to see the representative of God." And when I came to that vision, I saw the person. At that time I didn't know who was. But I had some doubts in my mind, and I was thinking, "Oh, that's probably another kind of, you know, some kind of propaganda." This was all in the dream. But when I came to that person sitting on the elevated seat in that forest, surrounded by many, many devotees, that person looked at me and proved to me that he was the representative of God. But after, I forgot. Maybe one year or something like this. One or two years after . . .

Prabhupāda: So there is no doubt about it that I am the representative of God.

Pṛthu-putra: Yes. But when I was . . .

Prabhupāda: Either you dream or not dream, I claim.

Pṛthu-putra: Yes. But the thing which was confirming, when I saw you the first time in Amsterdam, you were the same person that I saw in my dream that this one or two years previously.

Prabhupāda: That . . . you have read Caitanya-caritāmṛta?

Pṛthu-putra: Yes, I have read this.

Prabhupāda: Guru-tattva. Guru-tattva. So there it is clearly said . . .

Pṛthu-putra: Yes, it is clearly explained.

Prabhupāda: . . . that guru is the manifestation of God. So it is confirmed in the śāstra. And all the ācāryas accept it. Yasya prasādād bhagavat-prasādaḥ.

Satsvarūpa: But is it possible to also learn spiritual truths from this . . . from representatives on the subtle plane?

Prabhupāda: There is no question of subtle plane. You are on the gross plane. You first of all study gross things, and subtle, we shall see later on.

Pṛthu-putra: Of course, that was never a doubt. That's just the way I came in Kṛṣṇa consciousness. And when I saw you . . .

Prabhupāda: So the guru is the representative of God. That's all right. Then what is your misunderstanding?

Pṛthu-putra: So then after I had some other things. For example, when I went to Egypt, in these pyramids one day I had some kind of contact on the subtle plane with persons who were supposed to live inside of the pyramids, and they gave me some kind of instructions.

Prabhupāda: Inside of the pyramid?

Pṛthu-putra: Yes. That wasn't in the dream. But people, they were quite clear.

Prabhupāda: These are just like we know gold and we know mountain . . .

Pṛthu-putra: Yes.

Prabhupāda: . . . and sometimes we mix together and we see golden mountain. So in dream we see like that. We have got hundreds and thousands of experiences in our this life and past life. They are all stocked there, and they can sometimes get like a bubbles. You have seen the bubbles come out? It is like that. We should not give much importance to these things. But it is a fact that bona fide spiritual master is bona fide representative of Kṛṣṇa. That's a fact. So there is no question of subtle or gross. It is a fact. That's all right.
