Nitai: Translation: "O scion of Bharata, you should understand that I am also the knower in all bodies, and to understand this body and its owner is called knowledge. That is My opinion."

Prabhupada:

kṣetra-jñaṁ capi maṁ viddhi
sarva-kṣetreṣu bharata
kṣetra-kṣetra-jñayor jñanaṁ
yat taj jñanaṁ mataṁ mama
[Bg. 13.3]

Jñanam, knowledge. The Supreme Personality of Godhead Krṣṇa is explaining about knowledge. People are being educated all over the world for advancement of knowledge. Knowledge is meant for the human being, not for the cats and dogs. Therefore, for human being, there are so many universities, schools, colleges, institutions, laws.

There are so many things (indistinct) to advance knowledge is to understand "Who am I?" If I do not know who am I, then what is the meaning of my advancement of knowledge? Generally, despite so many universities all over the world, people are going on in the concept of this body, "I am this body." "I am Indian," "I am American," "I am Hindu," "I am Muslim." So everyone is identifying himself with this material body. Then where is the advancement of knowledge?

Here Krṣṇa says, kṣetra-kṣetra-jñayor jñanaṁ yad jñanam, taj jñanaṁ mataṁ mama. The kṣetra, this body, and the owner of the body... I am not this body, I am the owner of this body. This is jñanam. That is being explained in this chapter of Bhagavad-gita by Krṣṇa. This is the thirteenth chapter, and Arjuna's question was

prakrtiṁ puruṣaṁ caiva
kṣetraṁ kṣetra-jñam eva ca
etad veditum icchami
jñanaṁ jñeyaṁ ca kesava

This was the question in this chapter, "My dear Krṣṇa, I want to know what is the prakrti, what is puruṣa, what is kṣetra, what is kṣetra-jña, what is jñana?" These are the items inquired by Arjuna.

Arjuna is disciple, and Krṣṇa is the teacher. The disciple submissively inquired from the teacher about knowledge. That is the Vedic injunction. You cannot have knowledge, I cannot have knowledge, without teacher. By speculative advancement, one cannot come to the real platform of knowledge. At the present moment, so many philosophers, scientists, they are trying to advance in knowledge by speculation. "I think," "In my opinion," "Perhaps," like this. These things are going on. Big, big philosophers, scientists, they give their opinion. "I think like this." Everybody is thinking, "I think..." And it is being supported. Knowledge means anyone can think in any way, and at the present moment that is being accepted as knowledge.

Just like at the present moment, amongst the scientists the knowledge is going on that life is made of matter, from matter, chemical evolution theory. And such person also being awarded with Nobel prize. He is going on on the wrong field of knowledge, that life is product of matter; by combination of matter, life is produced. It is not knowledge. It is ignorance. But by speculative process, one is writing a big volume of books and he is getting Nobel Prize. Where is the proof that by combination of matter life comes out?

This was discussed by a big professor in California University. He was touring, lecturing all over the world. So when I was in Los Angeles he also came there. So in the Los Angeles University there is one Dr. Svarupa Damodara. He is PhD in Chemistry. He is my student. He challenged the professor that "If you say that life is combination of some chemicals, suppose I give you the chemicals. Can you produce life?" The professor said, "That I cannot say."

So this is going on. What you do not know exactly—simply theoretically you put some theories and speculate—that is not knowledge. But our process, we are getting knowledge from the perfect personality. That is Vedic system. You acquire knowledge from a person who is perfect in knowledge. Perfect in knowledge and imperfect in knowledge. So long we are imperfect, we cannot give perfect knowledge. Therefore we must find out knowledge from the perfect person. That is Vedic injunction. Tad-vijñanarthaṁ sa gurum eva abhigacchet [MU 1.2.12]. Guru. Guru means one who has got perfect knowledge. One who hasn't got perfect knowledge, he cannot become guru. How he can? Guru means heavy. So if I am light and I take knowledge from another light person, then what is the use of such knowledge?

So therefore the Vedic injunction is tad-vijñanarthaṁ sa gurum eva abhigacchet [MU 1.2.12]. Abhigacchet, "must." Gacchet. This form of verb, vidhilin, is used when there is the meaning "must. Abhigacchet. So it is not optional that "I may go or I may not go." No. You must go. That is Vedic injunction. So here is the perfect teacher, Krṣṇa, real jagad-guru. Krṣṇa, the Supreme Personality of Godhead, it appears in due course of time. There is a time when Krṣṇa appears. Everything is there in the calculation of the sastras.

Just like we have got a fixed time for the sunrise. Everyone knows that in the morning at 6:30 there will be sunrise. That is certain. Similarly, in the sastras there is description when Krṣṇa comes down, descends in this universe. In one day of Brahma at the end of Dvapara-yuga... Brahma's days are described in the Bhagavad-gita, sahasra-yuga-paryantam ahar yad brahmaṇo viduḥ; [Bg. 8.17]. Forty-three lakhs of years multiplied by one thousand becomes one day of Brahma. So forty-three lakhs thousand times, add another forty-three lakhs times thousand—this is the period after which Krṣṇa comes.

So why does He comes, that is also described. Paritraṇaya sadhunaṁ vinasaya ca duṣkrtam [Bg. 4.8], yuge yuge sambhavami. So the Supreme Personality of Godhead Krṣṇa descends to give us knowledge like Bhagavad-gita, personally speaking, so that even after disappearance of Krṣṇa, you can take advantage of Bhagavad-gita and, as Arjuna is asking personally, so similarly, all Your question, not only religious...

Of course, when there is something, talks about God, it is taken as religious. So religious, the meaning of religion in the English dictionary is different from what we mean by religion, that in the dictionary it is said, "Religion is a kind of faith." Faith may be wrong or right, but religion cannot be wrong or right. Religion must be correct. That is the meaning of religion. the example is that the sugar is sweet. It is not the question of wrong or right. Sugar must be always sweet. You cannot change it. That is religion. Chili is hot. That is correct. Chili cannot be sweet, and sugar cannot be hot. So religion means that. Religion described in the Vedic sastras is said, dharmaṁ tu sakṣad bhagavat-praṇitam: [SB 6.3.19] "Dharma means..." The plain description of religion is "the code, or the laws, given by God." Dharmaṁ tu sakṣad bhagavat-praṇitam [SB 6.3.19].

Just like the state law means the order given by the government. That is correct. You cannot accept government laws in a way, that "I may believe or I may not believe." That is not law. Law means you must believe it. That is law. If you don't believe, then you will be punished. That is law.

Similarly, religion means, as it is described in the English dictionary that it is a kind of faith... Faith I may accept. Suppose Hindu faith or Christian faith. So you may accept or not accept; there is no compulsion. But religion does not mean like that. Religion means you must accept. You believe or don't believe. It doesn't matter. You must accept. That is religion. And what is that religion? That religion... From Bhagavad-gita we find, sarva-dharman parityajya mam ekaṁ saraṇaṁ vraja [Bg. 18.66]. That is religion.

Why Krṣṇa says, dharma-saṁsthapanarthaya sambhavami yuge yuge: "I come down on this planet or in this universe for reestablishing the principles of religion"? Dharma-saṁsthapanarthaya sambhavami yuge yuge. Then what is that dharma? That is not Hindu dharma or Muslim dharma or Christian dharma or this dharma or that dharma. No. Krṣṇa, or the Supreme Personality of Godhead, does not come down to teach a sectarian type of dharma. There is one dharma. What is that one dharma? To surrender to the orders of God. That's all. Sarva-dharman parityajya mam ekaṁ saraṇaṁ vraja [Bg. 18.66]. This is dharma.

Sa vai puṁsaṁ paro dharmo yato bhaktir adhokṣaje [SB 1.2.6]. Why you should surrender to God unless you have got love? Just like we surrender to the government laws. Why? Because we are confident that "If I surrender to the government laws, we shall be peaceful citizen. There will be no trouble." Because we know that, therefore we surrender to the laws of government.

So government at the present moment... Everywhere we see defective government. Therefore there is agitation against government. There are parties. One party is agitating to take the seat of the government. When he goes, then another party agitates. Because everyone is imperfect. Therefore they cannot give the real law so that the citizens may be happy and peaceful. That is the defect. But when we receive from the perfect the laws, then we become peaceful and perfect. Yayatma suprasidati. That is real law.

That is described in the Srimad-Bhagavatam, that

vasudeve bhagavati
bhakti-yogaḥ; prayojitaḥ;
janayaty asu vairagyaṁ
jñanaṁ ca yad ahaitukam
[SB 1.2.7]

If we engage ourself in the service of Vasudeva, the Supreme Personality of Godhead... Vasudeva is another name of Krṣṇa. Because Krṣṇa appeared as the son of Vasudeva, and Vasudeva means all-pervading also... So Krṣṇa is both. He is the son of Vasudeva. He appears. He accepts. Ajo 'pi sann avyayatma bhutanam isvaro 'pi san. Although He is the original source of everything, still, He appears like a human being, becoming the son of His devotee like Vasudeva or Nanda Maharaja, like that, or Maharaja Dasaratha. That is his option. He can appear from anywhere.

So Krṣṇa is perfect. If we take lessons from Krṣṇa, instruction from Krṣṇa, then we get perfect knowledge. That is the process of studying Bhagavad-gita. If you accept Krṣṇa as ordinary human being, then we are befooled. Avajananti maṁ muḍha manuṣiṁ tanum asritam [Bg. 9.11]. We should accept Krṣṇa. Why should we accept? Because all the sastras accept. Krṣṇas tu bhagavan svayam [SB 1.3.28]. Isvaraḥ; paramaḥ; krṣṇaḥ; sac-cid-ananda-vigrahaḥ; [Bs. 5.1]. Sadhu-sastra-guru—that is the evidence. According to our Vedic knowledge, we shall accept a thing when it is proved by Vedic evidence. Therefore Veda means knowledge, perfect knowledge.

So sadhu-sastra. Sastra means Vedas, and sadhu, saintly persons, and guru. Saintly person means who abides by the sastra, Vedic knowledge. One who does not accept Vedic knowledge, so, followers of Vedas, they do not accept him as an authority.

Even Lord Buddha, He, because he did not accept the authority of Vedas, therefore in India he was rejected. Although Lord Buddha appeared in India, for some time many people became followers of Buddhist religion, but later on it disappeared from India. It went outside. What was the reason? Because Lord Buddha did not accept the authority of the Vedas. So although Lord Buddha is accepted as incarnation of God... We Vaiṣṇava, we worship Lord Buddha, kesava dhrta-buddha-sarira jaya jagadisa hare. Nindasi yajña-vidher ahaha sruti-jatam.

Sruti-jatam. The statement in the Vedas, that is called sruti-jatam. Nindasi. Because his mission was to establish animal, to stop animal killing. Sadaya-hrdaya darsita-pasu-ghatam. Therefore he had to reject the Vedic principles because in the Vedic principle, in the sacrifice, there is recommendation sometimes, not always, about sacrifice of the animal. But his aim was, mission was, to stop animal killing. Therefore for the time being he rejected the Vedic authority, because people will take advantage that "In the Vedas there is recommendation for sacrificing animals." So just to stop, to take this advantage, he said that "I do not accept the authority of Vedas." Therefore he was accepted as atheist. Veda na maniya bauddha haya ta' nastika. That's a big story.

Anyway, we have to accept knowledge from the perfect person. This is the sum and substance. Unless we take knowledge form the perfect person, our knowledge is defective. Therefore Arjuna is asking, "What is this prakrti, material nature? What is puruṣa?" Puruṣa means who is trying to exploit [break] ...he is also prakrti. Prakrti. Just try to understand, woman, stri. But if one stri wants to enjoy another stri. So how it is possible? That is not possible. There must be puruṣa. So puruṣa, these living entities, although they have dressed like puruṣa, they are not puruṣa. They are prakrti. Jiva-bhutaṁ maha-baho [Bg. 7.5]. They are superior prakrti, but not puruṣa. But they are trying to be puruṣa. This is called illusion. If a woman dresses like a man and wants to act like man, that is artificial. That is not possible. Similarly, a living entity is not puruṣa; he is prakrti. But because he wanted to enjoy this material world, nature has given him a dress like a puruṣa, and he is falsely trying to enjoy another prakrti.

A puruṣa can enjoy. That is also described in the Bhagavad-gita.

bhoktaraṁ yajña-tapasaṁ
sarva-loka-mahesvaram
suhrdaṁ sarva-bhutanaṁ
jñatva maṁ santim rcchati
[Bg. 5.29]

Santi. If you want santi, peace of mind, peace of living condition, then you must know three things, that Krṣṇa is the supreme bhokta, enjoyer... And we are trying to imitate him to become enjoyer. That is false. Because if you try to capture something false, then it is simply labor. You will never achieve that thing. Or even if you achieve, you cannot be happy. Because thing is false.

So real bhokta is Krṣṇa. Bhoktaraṁ yajña-tapasaṁ sarva-loka-mahesvaram [Bg. 5.29], suhrdaṁ sarva-bhutanam. People are after peace, santi, but this is the santi formula, that we must know Krṣṇa—the supreme enjoyer of everything. Bhoktaraṁ yajña-tapasam.

If tapasya, you undergo severe austerities... Suppose you are doing business; that is also tapasya. You have to work very hard. Money does not come so easily. Then you get some money. So it is also the result of your tapasya. Sometimes we see that a poor man, working very, very hard, he becomes a millionaire. There are many instances. But that is tapasya. The result is you have got millions of dollars, but you cannot enjoy it. Bhoktaraṁ yajña-tapasam.

Yajña also. There are many ritualistic ceremonies in the Vedas to achieve something very great. That you can get. But Krṣṇa says that "When you achieve the result, you are not enjoyer; I am the enjoyer." Now, who will accept it? Everyone will say, "I have got this result after working so hard, and Krṣṇa will take everything?" Yes. If you want to enjoy yourself, you will never be happy. You give it to Krṣṇa and you will be happy. This is the formula. So this simple formula, if we understand, bhoktaraṁ yajña-tapasaṁ sarva-loka-mahesvaram... [Bg. 5.29]. Because He is the proprietor sarva-loka-mahesvaram, he must enjoy. Suppose a carpenter makes a very nice furniture, a nice closet, very beautiful. So will the carpenter shall be the proprietor or the man, the person who has supplied him wages, who has supplied him the wood, and he has made it? Who will be the proprietor? Very simple philosophy. Whatever we used...

Similarly, suppose you construct a skyscraper building, costly building. But who has supplied the material? The brick, stone, wood, iron—where you have got it? It is Krṣṇa's property. You cannot produce these bricks or the iron or the wood. It is Krṣṇa's property. Bhumir apo 'nalo vayuḥ; khaṁ mano buddhir eva ca [Bg. 7.4]. These five elements of material ingredients... earth, water, air fire, all these things, even mind, intelligence... The mind... Unless you have got intelligence, you cannot manufacture anything with this material things.

Just like in America. Before the Americans, the Europeans or from other countries, mostly Europeans, they went to America... And the American land was there. The ingredients were there. But because the red Indians, they had no sufficient intelligence, they could not make America like present time. Lack of intelligence. So we are manufacturing so many things industrially, but the intelligence is also given by Krṣṇa. Bhumir apo 'nalo vayuḥ; khaṁ mano buddhiḥ;. The buddhi is also given by Krṣṇa. That is also stated in the Bhagavad-gita. Sarvasya cahaṁ hrdi sanniviṣṭaḥ;. "I am sitting in everyone's heart." Mattaḥ; smrtir jñanam apohanaṁ ca: [Bg. 15.15] "From Me, one gets intelligence, memory, and also forgets."

We are completely dependent on Krṣṇa. Otherwise why a man is extraordinarily intelligent, another is not? Why this difference? He... Constitutionally, if you study the body of the intelligent man and the less intelligent man, the anatomy and physiological conditions, you will find the same—the same blood, same bone, same marrow, same muscle, same skin, same veins running, same heart, everything. But why one man is less intelligent and another is very, very highly intelligent? Why this difference? Because the supply of intelligence is by Krṣṇa. That is said in the Bhagavad-gita. Mattaḥ; smrtir jñanam apohanaṁ ca [Bg. 15.15]. If Krṣṇa is favorable, you will get the right intelligence at the right moment. Otherwise you will miss. This is the position.

So we are completely dependent on Krṣṇa. We are conducted by the manipulation of Krṣṇa. Therefore right knowledge should be taken from Krṣṇa. Mattaḥ; smrtir jñanam apohanaṁ ca jñanam [Bg. 15.15]. "From Me." Therefore Arjuna is rightly intelligent. Therefore asking Krṣṇa, "What is this prakrti? What is this puruṣa? What is jñana? What is kṣetra-jña? What is kṣetra?" And Krṣṇa is answering. So if we want to receive real knowledge, then we should consult this Bhagavad-gita.

That is our propagation. We are propagating this message, Krṣṇa consciousness movement, that "You take knowledge from Krṣṇa." That's all. Don't take knowledge from the rascals and fools. Then you will be misled. That is our propaganda. So why not take this opportunity?

Our business is not very difficult. Our business is very easy because we are not manufacturing knowledge like the rascals. "I think." What you are, you are thinking like this? You are rascal number one, and you are thinking? What is the meaning of your thinking? We reject immediately. "I think." "It is my opinion." This is going on. Big, big scientists, big, big philosophers. We don't accept. We must see whether he has received knowledge from Krṣṇa. And one who receives knowledge from Krṣṇa...

Just like Arjuna. Arjuna said to Krṣṇa, siṣyas te 'haṁ sadhi maṁ prapannam: [Bg. 2.7] "My dear Krṣṇa, the perplexity which has arisen in my mind, it cannot be solved by anyone except Yourself." Because Arjuna knew that Krṣṇa is the Supreme Personality of Godhead. Therefore he surrendered to Him. He surrendered. He was talking like friend. Friendly talking cannot give any good result, simply waste of time. But when there is talking between disciple and the spiritual master, that has got meaning.

Just like my disciples, because they have accepted me as guru, whatever I say, they accept it. Otherwise I have not bribed them. These European, Americans... I have no money. I went to New York with seven dollars. What money I have got? But they have accepted. So this is the process. You must find out somebody whom you can accept as guru. That guru must be bona fide. Otherwise what is the use of accepting a bogus guru? So what is that bona fide guru? That bona fide guru means one who has accepted Krṣṇa as guru. He is bona fide guru. That is bona fide guru.

Evaṁ parampara-praptam imaṁ rajarṣayo viduḥ; [Bg. 4.2]. Imaṁ vivasvate yogaṁ proktavan aham avyayam [Bg. 4.1]. Krṣṇa says that "This system of yoga, as it is described in the Bhagavad-gita, was first of all described by Me to the sun-god." Imaṁ vivasvate yogaṁ proktavan aham avyayam, vivasvan manave praha: [Bg. 4.1] "And the sun-god again handed over the knowledge to his son Manu." Manur ikṣvakave 'bravit: "And Manu explained the same thing to his son Ikṣvaku." Evaṁ parampara-praptaṁ rajarṣayaḥ; [Bg. 4.2]. So that means the knowledge is actually coming from Krṣṇa.

In the beginning of Srimad-Bhagavatam it is also stated, tene brahma hrda adi-kavaye [SB 1.1.1]. Adi-kavi is Lord Brahma, and brahma means the Vedic knowledge. So there was nobody to teach Brahma. Brahma is called prapitamaha [Bg. 11.39], the first-class knower of the Vedic knowledge, adi-kavi. But wherefrom he got the knowledge? He got the knowledge form Krṣṇa. Tene brahma hrda adi-kavaye. And Brahma distributed it to Narada. Narada distributed it to Vyasadeva. Vyasadeva distributed it to other acaryas. In this way, evaṁ parampara-praptam imaṁ rajarṣayo viduḥ; [Bg. 4.2]. So there is parampara. The knowledge is the same. There is no alteration. But it is coming through disciplic succession, one after an... So one who receives the knowledge from the disciplic succession...

Just like at the present moment we see that Krṣṇa and Arjuna, they are talking. Arjuna is direct disciple of Krṣṇa. So if you take Bhagavad-gita as it was understood by Arjuna, then you get the right knowledge. And if you take the knowledge of Bhagavad-gita explained by some so-called scholar and politician, then it is rascaldom only. It has no meaning. It has no meaning.

That is the process. You try to understand Bhagavad-gita as Arjuna understood. Arjuna is asking Krṣṇa. So what Krṣṇa is answering, you take it. Arjuna accepted Krṣṇa, paraṁ brahma paraṁ dhama pavitraṁ paramaṁ bhavan [Bg. 10.12]. These are all statement in the Bhagavad-gita. So our only request is that if you want knowledge as it is inquired by Arjuna, you take it from Krṣṇa or one who has accepted Krṣṇa as guru, the original. Then your knowledge is perfect. Otherwise you are cheated. You will not get the right knowledge. It is not possible. Evaṁ parampara-praptam imaṁ rajarṣayo viduḥ; [Bg. 4.2].

So therefore Krṣṇa says that kṣetra-jñaṁ capi maṁ viddhi. Kṣetra-jñaṁ capi maṁ viddhi sarva-kṣetreṣu bharata [Bg. 13.3]. First of all He gave knowledge that "This body is kṣetra." Kṣetra means field of activities. Just like a cultivator. He has got a field, and he is working with plow. So according to his labor he is getting the fruit. Similarly, we have got this field, this body, and we are working—you, me, and everyone—according to our knowledge, according to my understanding capacity. So therefore... I am not this body; I am the owner of the body. I am working with this body. This is the position. Kṣetra-kṣetra-jña.

You study yourself. You take your finger. Ask yourself, "Am I this finger?" No. The answer will be "I am not this finger. It is my finger." "I am this head?" So... Just like you ask one child, "What is this, my boy?" "Oh, my finger, father." No child will say, "I finger." Even a child will not say that "I finger." But the whole material civilization is going on, "I body." That's all. "I am Indian," "I am American." Therefore this is foolishness.

yasyatma-buddhiḥ; kuṇape tri-dhatuke
sva-dhiḥ; kalatradiṣu bhauma ijya-dhiḥ;
yat-tirtha-buddhiḥ; salile na karhicij
janeṣv abhijñeṣu sa eva go-kharaḥ;
[SB 10.84.13]

Yasyatma-buddhiḥ; kuṇape tri-dhatuke. This bag of bones and flesh and blood and urine and stool... This is the bag. This is body. What is this body? You dissect this body. You will find these things. You will find blood, muscles, bones, urine, stool and so many other things. Does it mean that such a great intelligent man is combination of urine, stool, blood, bone? So why don't you create another intelligent man with these ingredients? But the so-called scientists and philosophers say that this body is everything. They have discovered some cellular theory, this theory... But that is not the fact.

The fact is that within this body there is the owner of the body. That is called soul. Dehino 'smin yatha dehe [Bg. 2.13]. This is not the cause of our intelligence, but it is given by Krṣṇa, less or more intelligence. That is your position. But that knowledge, where you get? Not in the university, but you get from the Bhagavad-gita. Therefore our request is, our only propaganda is, "Be Krṣṇa conscious. Try to understand everything, all problems." Then the solution is there in the Bhagavad-gita.

The present problem is food problem. It is not simply talking on this platform or that platform. Yesterday some news reporter, "Sir, what is your view of the Bhagavad-gita, dvaita-vada, advaita-vada?" The dvaita-vada, advaita-vada—that we shall consider later on. Come to the practical field. Now, suppose there is scarcity of food. So Krṣṇa does not say that this problem of scarcity of food will be solved by dvaita-vada philosophy or advaita-vada philosophy. Krṣṇa says practical way: annad bhavanti bhutani [Bg. 3.14]. Annad. You have, you must have sufficient food grains for the living entities, animal or man. This is practical. There is no question of talking. What is he talking of advaita-vada philosophy or dvaita-vada philosophy when you are needy, you require anna? That is practical solution given by Krṣṇa. Annad bhavanti. He never says that your food problem will be solved by philosophizing advaita-vada or dvaita-vada. Here is practical. Annad bhavanti bhutani. You must find out sufficient grains. Annad bhavanti bhutani parjanyad anna-sambhavaḥ;. Parjanyat. When there is sufficient rain, then there will be food grains, not by your advaita-vada philosophy or dvaita-vada philosophy. These are practical solution.

Catur-varṇyaṁ maya srṣṭaṁ guṇa-karma-vibhagasaḥ; [Bg. 4.13]. Krṣṇa has divided the society, human society, in four divisions: the brahmaṇa, the kṣatriya, the vaisya, the sudras. These divisions of the human society must be there. If there is no intelligent person, brahmaṇa, simply sudras, you cannot be happy. That is not possible. Just like to keep your body, there must be head, there must be arms, there must be belly, and there must be legs. Simply if you have got legs, that is dead body. Even simply you have got head, that is also dead body. Four things must be there. How you can violate? "No, no, we don't require head" or "don't require leg." No, no. Krṣṇa says, "no." Catur-varṇyaṁ maya srṣṭam [Bg. 4.13]. "This is My regulative principle. I give you. Just maintain a first-class, intelligent man. Don't disturb them. Give them all facilities. Let them cultivate Vedic knowledge and help you." That is required.

So in this way you will find solution all problems—social, political, economical, philosophical, religious, everything. So our Krṣṇa consciousness movement is for this purpose, that you study Bhagavad-gita as it is, don't try to, foolishly try to interpret in this way and that way and spoil your time. Then you get right direction for solution of all problems and your life will be successful. That is our request. Thank you very much. (end)
