Unless one has got complete knowledge, how he can say things complete? It is not the so-called scientist: "perhaps," "it may be." No, not that kind of knowledge, simply theorizing, "It may be like that." No. There is no question of "maybe." Exact knowledge. Exact knowledge. That is called Vedic knowledge.

Kapiladeva is that Bhagavān. Therefore He says that ''atha te sampravakṣyāmi''. ''Sam'' means ''samyak. Samyak'' means complete. Unless one has got complete knowledge, how he can say things complete? It is not the so-called scientist: "perhaps," "it may be." No, not that kind of knowledge, simply theorizing, "It may be like that." No. There is no question of "maybe." Exact knowledge. Exact knowledge. That is called Vedic knowledge. Just like in the ''Padma Purāṇa'' we can understand the calculation of the species of life. It is said, ''jalajā nava-lakṣāṇi sthāvarā lakṣa-viṁśati'' (''Padma Purāna''). There are aquatic living entities, nine lakhs forms. How many you have seen? Neither it is possible for you to go within the water and see how many different forms of fishes and aquatics are there. But in the ''śāstra'' it is said, ''jalajā nava-lakṣāṇi''. It doesn't says "about ''nava-lakṣā''," "about nine ''lakhs'', more or less." No. Exactly. ''Jalajā nava-lakṣāṇi sthāvarā lakṣa-viṁśati. Sthāvarāḥ'' means those plants and trees which cannot move, two millions, ''lakṣa-viṁśati'', or twenty ''lakhs''.

So that is Vedic knowledge. You get the exact knowledge. Therefore Vedic knowledge is called ''apauruṣeya''. It is not spoken by ordinary human being by speculation: "It may be," "perhaps." No. It is not like that. That is Bhagavān. Whatever He'll say, exact—that is Vedic knowledge. Therefore it is safer to take knowledge from Bhagavān, especially the knowledge of Bhagavān. Bhagavān is not so cheap thing. If you want to know Bhagavān . . . if you do not be so fool to accept another fool as Bhagavān, then you have to hear about Bhagavān about Bhagavān. That is the process.

Therefore the Vedic instruction is, to get perfect knowledge, you have to approach a person who is ''guru. Tad-vijñānārthaṁ sa gurum evābhigacchet'' (MU 1.2.12). And who's guru? ''Guru'' means representative of Bhagavān. ''Sākṣād-dharitvena samasta-śāstrair uktas tathā bhāvyata eva sadbhiḥ. Guru'' . . . because the real ''guru'', he's representative of Kṛṣṇa, ''sākṣāt-hari. Sākṣād-dharitvena samasta-śāstraiḥ''. In all scriptures it is described that ''guru'' is as good as Bhagavān. Means he knows from the right source. Therefore he may be—not may be exactly, but as good—''sākṣād-dharitvena''. Why? ''Kintu prabhor yaḥ priya eva tasya. Guru'' is servant, servant God. The master God and the servant God. Kṛṣṇa is the master God, and ''guru'' is the servant God. Although he's respected as Kṛṣṇa, still, ''kintu prabhor yaḥ priya eva tasya''; he does not claim that "I've become Kṛṣṇa." No. He's very dear to Kṛṣṇa. ''Kintu prabhor yaḥ priya. Priya. Priya'' means dear. Why he's so dear? Because he preaches the master's message. Therefore he's pure. If he preaches his own message, manufactured, then he's not good. He's not good; he's deceit. That now there are so many rascal, they say like that, that "Kṛṣṇa was Bhagavān. That is past now. He's dead and gone. Now I am Kṛṣṇa." There are many rascals, they say like that. But these rascals are accepted by other rascals. God is never dead. God . . . how He can get . . .? Even the ordinary living being, he's not dead. ''Na jāyate na mriyate''. Even we, living entities, never die or never born. How the Supreme Lord can be dead or born? That is not the fact.
