People do not understand, and they read Bhagavad-gītā daily. And they are very much proud: "I am reading Bhagavad-gītā daily." If anyone actually reads Bhagavad-gītā, then he will be Kṛṣṇa conscious. It is meant for that purpose. But they do not read actually. They simply make a show. Neither do they understand what is Bhagavad-gītā. Therefore we are presenting Bhagavad-gītā as it is. Is that all right? So we have to preach in that spirit.

Kṛṣṇa does not say everyone that ''sarva-dharmān parityajya'', only to a selected devotee. Because unless one is very highly elevated devotee, he cannot accept this proposition. He is puffed up with his material, contaminated life. That's all. "I am this. I am that. I am this. I am that. Why shall I surrender?" Actually they forgot. Dr. Radhakrishnan says: "This is sophistry, that Kṛṣṇa is demanding like that."

He is very proud of his becoming a great philosophy, but he does not know he is a fool number one. He comments on the ''Bhagavad-gītā'' in a different way. That he does not know. Therefore he is surprised: "How this gentleman, Kṛṣṇa, is asking to surrender? I am so proud. I am so learned."

But this is the only process. What is that? He again explains it: ''man-manā bhava mad-bhaktaḥ''. The same thing which was instructed in the Ninth . . .

:''man-manā bhava mad-bhakto''
:''mad-yājī māṁ namaskuru''
:''mām evaiṣyasi satyaṁ te''
:''pratijāne priyo 'si me''
:([[Vanisource:BG 18.65 (1972)|BG 18.65]])

''Priyo 'si me'': "Because you are My very dear friend, you have fully surrendered unto Me; therefore I am speaking to you." Then He says:

:''sarva-dharmān parityajya''
:''mām ekaṁ śaraṇaṁ vraja''
:''ahaṁ tvāṁ sarva-pāpebhyo''
:''mokṣayiṣyāmi mā śucaḥ''
:([[Vanisource:BG 18.66 (1972)|BG 18.66]])

These three verses are the ultimate instruction of ''Bhagavad-gītā''. ''Sarva-guhyatamam''.

So people do not understand, and they read ''Bhagavad-gītā'' daily. They are very much proud, "I am reading ''Bhagavad-gītā'' daily." If anyone actually reads ''Bhagavad-gītā'', then he will be Kṛṣṇa conscious. It is meant for that purpose. But they do not read actually. They simply make a show. Neither do they understand what is ''Bhagavad-gītā''. Therefore we are presenting ''Bhagavad-gītā'' as it is. Is that all right? So we have to preach in that spirit.
