<p>Prabhupāda: Gradual process, just like you are here in the sunshine. So if you are intelligent, you'll understand that the temperature in the sunshine and the temperature in the sun globe is different. So Brahman understanding is the lowest stage. Paramātmā understanding little higher. And Bhagavān understanding is complete. That is gradual. And these Māyāvādīs, they do not try to understand Kṛṣṇa. They are satisfied only with understanding Brahman. Therefore they fall down. Arūhya kṛcchreṇa paraṁ padaṁ tataḥ patanty adho 'nādṛta ([[Vanisource:SB 10.2.32|SB 10.2.32]]). Because there is no standing. The impersonal feature, that the sky... Go very high in the sky, you do not see anymore this planet earth, neither you see anything, you'll be mad. Then you will find out how to go back again. You cannot stay there in that condition. Although they say "so'ham," no, you cannot stay there. Just imagine, if you go very high and you do not see any other thing, only sky. Will you be able to stay in that condition? You go in the sea. When you do not find anything, all water, you become very much anxious, "Where is land? Where is land?" And as soon as you have a glimpse of land, island, you become very, "Oh, there is land." So this is impersonal understanding. It is simply imagination, that simply by Brahman understanding he'll be happy. No, that is not possible.</p>
<p>Devotee (1): Śrīla Prabhupāda, then even Brahman has to be understood in relationship to Kṛṣṇa?</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: Hmm?</p>
<p>Devotee (1): Even Brahman has to be understood...</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: Yes, that is real understanding.</p>
<p>Dhṛṣṭadyumna: Brahmaṇo hi pratiṣṭhāham.</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: Hmm. Now wherefrom this fragrance have come?</p>
<p>Devotees: From the earth.</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: Get out this fragrance from earth, you scientist. By Kṛṣṇa's manipulation here is fragrance. Everyone knows it has come from earth. If there is, in the earth, there is no such fragrance, wherefrom it came? So therefore it is there, it is understood, but you get it out.</p>
<p>Dhṛṣṭadyumna: Well, we can take the chemicals and mix them, produce fragrance.</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: Take the chemicals?</p>
<p>Dhṛṣṭadyumna: Yes. We can analyze the chemical structure and make...</p>
