Lord Caitanya Mahāprabhu accepted one verse from ''Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam'' while talking with Śrī Rāmānanda Rāya. That verse is: ''jñāne prayāsam udapāsya namanta eva'' ([[vanisource:SB 10.14.3|SB 10.14.3]]). One should not try to understand the Supreme Personality of Godhead by speculative mental exercise. This process should be given up. One should be humble and meek. That is also the demand of ''Bhagavad-gītā''.

:''sarva-dharmān parityajya''
:''mām ekaṁśaraṇaṁ vraja''
:([[vanisource:BG 18.66 (1972)|BG 18.66]])

So, in absolute humbleness one should try to hear from the realized soul, ''san-mukharitāṁ bhavadīya-vārtām namanta eva'' ([[vanisource:SB 10.14.3|SB 10.14.3]]). In that position, although the Lord is unconquerable, He becomes conquered by the devotee.

So we are recommending, we are preaching all over the world, this philosophy that you do not require to change your position. Even if you require to remain as a Christian or as a Muhammadan or a Hindu or a Jewish or Buddhist, it doesn't matter. Please try to see whether by your activities God is satisfied. That is the injunction in the ''Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam'' also:

:''sa vai puṁsāṁ paro dharmo''
:''yato bhaktir adhokṣaje''
:([[vanisource:SB 1.2.6|SB 1.2.6]])

That is first-class religion, by which one is elevated to the platform of loving transcendental service to the Transcendence, Adhokṣaja: without any cause, ''ahaitukī apratihatā'', and without being hampered. In that way one can be peaceful. Otherwise there is no possibility of peace.
