<span class="link">[[Vanisource:Morning Walk -- April 2, 1975, Mayapur|Morning Walk -- April 2, 1975, Mayapur]]: </span><div class="text"><p style="display: inline;">Satsvarūpa: Śrīla Prabhupāda, this Professor Dimmock was going to arrange a Vaiṣṇava conference at which we were going to attend. You yourself was going to be invited with many professors, but I received a report from one of the professors that when they tried to contact other professors, none of them wanted to come because they said, more or less, that we are like fanatics and we wouldn't actually discuss things in a philosophic way, that we would just use the conference to proselytize. So in this way, they're rejecting us from...</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: What is the harm? Let them reject.</p>
<p>Satsvarūpa: We don't need them.</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: Our business will go on, and there will be many professor Dimmocks who will support us. And they are doing that.</p>
<p>Satsvarūpa: We're not going to compromise to...</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: No.</p>
<p>Satsvarūpa: ...please them.</p>
<p>Pañcadraviḍa: This Professor Dimmock, he still supported us?</p>
<p>Satsvarūpa: Yes, he... (Break)</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: The Bhagavad-gītā is read all over the world. So we can better talk on the principles of Bhagavad-gītā. Our philosophy is we present Bhagavad-gītā as it is, without malinterpretation. So we want to defy everyone who is malinterpreting Bhagavad-gītā. So we have to follow the authorities. And Bhagavad-gītā is accepted as authority. Otherwise, why they're reading so widely all over the world Bhagavad-gītā? Why not come on this term? Why you catch up so many literature? If, on this basis, there is a conference, that will be profitable, that "If you accept Bhagavad-gītā as authority or one of the authorities, so you cannot misinterpret the statement in the Bhagavad-gītā." But the Westerners, they are very expert in misinterpreting even their own Bible. We say that if you interpret any śāstra, either Bible or Bhagavad-gītā, then it is no more śāstra. It is your play toy. By so-called your rascal vote, without any reason and rhythm and rhyme, you can do everything.</p>
