Kṛṣṇa says something, and I understand something. That you go on with your millions of years; it will never be possible. You have to understand Kṛṣṇa as He says. Therefore we are presenting Bhagavad-gītā as it is. That is real understanding. Arjuna says, sarvam etam ṛtaṁ manye. Ṛtam means fact. "Everything, whatever You have said." Not that "I cut this side and that side . . ." There is a nonsense swāmījī in India. He says, "We can take up what is beneficial verses. Otherwise I reject." This is called ardha-kukkuṭī-nyāya (CC Ādi-līlā 5.176). Ardha-kukkuṭī-nyāya means . . . I have several times explained, one man had one chicken. So, and he was getting one egg daily. So he thought that "The rear side of the chicken is very nice. It is giving one egg daily, and the front side, it is eating, expensive, so cut it. (laughter) Cut the mouth and simply take the egg." (laughter) The rascal does not know that if he cuts the mouth, there will be no egg.

Kṛṣṇa says. Simply try to understand Kṛṣṇa. To understand Kṛṣṇa is also seeing Kṛṣṇa, because He is absolute. There is no difference, as in the material world you understand something but you cannot see it. This is duality. But in the Absolute, if you understand Kṛṣṇa, if you hear Kṛṣṇa, if you see Kṛṣṇa, if you play with Kṛṣṇa, they are all one. This is called absolute. There is no duality.

So if you simply understand Kṛṣṇa, divyam, divine nature . . . Simply you understand that Kṛṣṇa is not like us: Kṛṣṇa has no material body, Kṛṣṇa is not unhappy, Kṛṣṇa is always happy—simply a few things, if you become convinced that's Kṛṣṇa's nature, immediately you become eligible to be transferred back to home, back to Godhead. This is Kṛṣṇa consciousness, so nice.

Kṛṣṇa is explaining Himself, and if you become convinced, "Yes, what Kṛṣṇa says, it is all right . . ." Just like Arjuna said, sarvam etam ṛtaṁ manye yad vadasi keśava (BG 10.14): "Whatever You have said I accept in total. No reduction, no . . ." Sarvam etam ṛtaṁ manye: "Whatever You have said, I believe. I have taken. I have under . . ." That is Kṛṣṇa. Kṛṣṇa says something, and I understand something. That you go on with your millions of years; it will never be possible. You have to understand Kṛṣṇa as He says. Therefore we are presenting Bhagavad-gītā as it is. That is real understanding. Arjuna says, sarvam etam ṛtaṁ manye. Ṛtam means fact. "Everything, whatever You have said." Not that "I cut this side and that side . . ."

There is a nonsense swāmījī in India. He says, "We can take up what is beneficial verses. Otherwise I reject." This is called ardha-kukkuṭī-nyāya (CC Ādi-līlā 5.176). Ardha-kukkuṭī-nyāya means . . . I have several times explained, one man had one chicken. So, and he was getting one egg daily. So he thought that "The rear side of the chicken is very nice. It is giving one egg daily, and the front side, it is eating, expensive, so cut it. (laughter) Cut the mouth and simply take the egg." (laughter) The rascal does not know that if he cuts the mouth, there will be no egg.

Similarly, if you make . . . (indistinct) . . . of Bhagavad-gītā according to your whims, you'll never understand what is Bhagavad-gītā. You have to follow. Mahājano yena gataḥ sa panthāḥ (CC Madhya 17.186). Arjuna understood. Sarvam etam ṛtaṁ manye (BG 10.14): "Whatever You have said, I understand. I have accepted it." So you accept it blindly even; then you are benefited. We may not understand.
