Śraddadhānāḥ. He must be very much eager to see God, actually. Not that as a proclivity, frivolous thing, "Can you show me God?" a magic, just like God is a magic. No. He must be very serious: "Yes, if there is God . . . we have seen, we have been informed about God. So I must see." There is a story in this connection. It is very instructive; try to hear. One professional reciter was reciting about Bhāgavata, and he was describing that Kṛṣṇa, being very highly decorated with all jewels, He is sent for tending the cows in the forest. So there was a thief in that meeting. So he thought that "Why not then go to Vṛndāvana and plunder this boy? He is in the forest with so many valuable jewels. I can go there and catch the child and take the . . . all the jewels.".

Here is the qualification. What is that? Tac chraddadhānā munayaḥ. One must be first of all faithful. Faithful. Śraddadhānāḥ. He must be very much eager to see God, actually. Not that as a proclivity, frivolous thing, "Can you show me God?" a magic, just like God is a magic. No. He must be very serious: "Yes, if there is God . . . we have seen, we have been informed about God. So I must see."

I can go there and catch the child and take the . . . all the jewels." That was his intention. So, he was serious that, "I must find out that boy. Then in one night I shall become millionaire. So much jewelries." No.
