Prabhupāda:
- . . . īśvara-vacana
- vyāsa-rūpe kaila yāhā śrī-nārāyaṇa
- (CC Adi 7.106)
- bhrama, pramāda, vipralipsā, karaṇāpāṭava
- īśvarera vākye nāhi doṣa ei saba
- (CC Adi 7.107)
We have been discussing this point, that īśvara-vacana, what is spoken by the Supreme Personality of Godhead, there is no flaw. In our statement, in our writing, because we are conditioned, therefore we have got four kinds of flaws—we are subjected to commit mistakes, we are sometimes illusioned, and sometimes we try to cheat, and always our senses are imperfect. So therefore, whatever knowledge I will present or I will tell you, that is all imperfect.
You cannot expect perfect knowledge from imperfect person. Just like a medical man, a doctor, when he's sick, he puts himself under the care of another medical man. He does not take care of himself, because he's at that time imperfect physician. Because he's diseased, therefore he's imperfect, although he's a physician. But in his diseased condition, he does not take charge of himself. He puts himself in the charge of another medical man. This is the system.
So when rascals and fools think in their imperfect stage as perfect, the whole anomalies of this world begins. The rascals and fools, they do not think themselves that, "I am rascal and fool." Just like Caitanya Mahāprabhu presents Himself before His spiritual master . . . not He presented—His spiritual master found Him that, "You are fool number one." So we should be always prepared to admit our imperfection.
