Now, if God Himself comes to teach to someone in this world, and if he has learned from God directly and he is satisfied that he has learned, that he has understood, can he, a few minutes afterwards, forget that he has received instruction from God and can he depart in a very ridiculous way from God, from what God has taught him in person?</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: Ridiculous way? What is that "ridiculous"?</p>
<p>Indian man (2): If I have read...</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: No, no. First of all correct yourself. What is that "ridiculous way"?</p>
<p>Indian man (2): If after receiving good education you act contrary to that education.</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: What is that?</p>
<p>Indian man (2): At least, is ridiculous.</p>
<p>Brahmānanda: If you receive a good education and then you act contrary to that education.</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: If one has received good education, he cannot act contradictory.</p>
<p>Indian man (2): That is... I agree with you. But this is what, if I have understood...</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: So a person who has got real education, he cannot be ridiculous. No, why you are saying that?</p>
<p>Indian man (2): It can be explained by ridiculous.</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: No, no. Don't say anything which is contradictory. Education does not mean ridiculous. That means he is not educated.</p>
<p>Indian man (2): I have not said that education is ridiculous. I said that one who has got good education from a teacher...</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: So he cannot act ridiculously. If he acts ridiculously, then he has not good education.</p>
<p>Indian man (2): So if I have well understood...</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: You have not well understood. You say a person who has got education, still, he acts ridiculously. That means you have no knowledge what is education.</p>
<p>Indian man (2): I shall explain myself well, but if you wish to be...</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: So if you cannot explain yourself, how can I continue to hear you?</p>
<p>Indian man (2): If you have got one minute more patience I will explain how.</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: No, no, no. If you speak ridiculously, how can I hear you? You say that one man has got education and he acts ridiculously. This is... Your statement is ridiculous.</p>
<p>Indian man (2): I said if a man who has good education...</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: No, no. He has no good education. You cannot say that. If he acts ridiculously, that, he has no good education.</p>
