Bhagavad-gita As It Is Lectures

We should try to know Kṛṣṇa by paramparā system. Kṛṣṇa is delivering His instruction to Arjuna, and if we understand as Arjuna understood—that is mentioned in the Tenth Chapter of Bhagavad-gītā—then we can understand Kṛṣṇa to some extent. We cannot understand Kṛṣṇa in full. That is not possible, because He's unlimited, and we are limited. So our power will fail to understand Kṛṣṇa fully.

Best intelligence is to accept Supreme Lord, Kṛṣṇa, as the predominator and be predominated by Him. That is our natural life. One who does not know, he falls down. Na tu mām abhijānanti tattvena . . . tattvena, by truth. Simply to know Kṛṣṇa, "Oh, Kṛṣṇa was somebody born in India, and He was very powerful and He was very intelligent. He has written Bhagavad-gītā . . ." But we do not know actually what Kṛṣṇa is.

And this Society especially meant to broadcast the knowledge about Kṛṣṇa. Therefore we have named particularly this Society the Society for Krishna Consciousness.

Tattvenātaś cyavanti te: "They fall down from the truth." This is . . .

So therefore we should try to know Kṛṣṇa by paramparā system. Kṛṣṇa is delivering His instruction to Arjuna, and if we understand as Arjuna understood—that is mentioned in the Tenth Chapter of Bhagavad-gītā—then we can understand Kṛṣṇa to some extent. We cannot understand Kṛṣṇa in full. That is not possible, because He's unlimited, and we are limited. So our power will fail to understand Kṛṣṇa fully.
