| <p>Prabhupāda: That people take Bhagavad-gītā as it is. You'll be benefited, the whole world will be benefited. Our thing is simple. It is stated there, yāre dekha tāre kaha 'kṛṣṇa'-upadeśa ([[Vanisource:CC Madhya 7.128|CC Madhya 7.128]]). You learn first of all Bhagavad-gītā as it is, and you preach.

| <p>Prabhupāda: That is cheating. Here, in the Bhagavad-gītā, you don't find anywhere that you show miracles.

That is the greatest miracle. And he guarantees, mām evaiṣyasi asaṁśayaṁ. That is miracle. What is this miracle, cheating other people by showing some magic or jugglery of words. These are miracles? That is cheating.</p> | | <p>Prabhupāda: That is cheating. Here, in the Bhagavad-gītā, you don't find anywhere that you show miracles.
