Young woman: I can choose my name if I don't like the name I have.
Prabhupāda: That is all right. But why do you believe? When I say, "What is your name?" you put your name which is given by your parents? And why not by your friend?
Young woman: It's arbitrary.
Prabhupāda: Eh?
Young woman: It's arbitrary.
Prabhupāda: But you accept it.
Young woman: Yes.
Prabhupāda: So you have to accept because your mother is authority.
Young woman: Yes. But who is the authority for telling me...
Prabhupāda: That's all right. This is the principle. So you have to accept the name of God from God. You cannot manufacture.Conversations and Morning Walks

Prabhupāda: Do you think that this process, as I have suggested, to know one's father through the authority of the mother is not perfect?
Mr. Wadell: Oh, well, I think it's as near perfect as you can get.
Prabhupāda: Why you say, "as near"? Why still doubt?
Mr. Wadell: Because it is not quite the same thing as my knowing that I am here. There's a famous French philosopher who began all his philosophy from the phrase "I am conscious; therefore I know that I exist." And he deduced everything, you know, starting from here.
Prabhupāda: Yes. That's a fact. You are conscious, I am conscious, that's a fact. It is not the question of belief. It is not question of belief. Belief may be wrong, but fact is fact.1975 Conversations and Morning Walks
Prabhupāda: Kicked out by whom? By mother.
Paramahaṁsa: Yes, mother.
Prabhupāda: Mother is authority.
Paramahaṁsa: Yes.
Prabhupāda: Just see.
Paramahaṁsa: They say that the main reasons that she gave for kicking him out were that he was going to nightclubs and dancing and drinking and eating meat.
Prabhupāda: So he was doing all, everything.1976 Conversations and Morning Walks
