Caller: Yes, that's what I wanted to know. I think there is a comparison, not between organized religion as such, but just getting down to the bare facts of what Jesus spoke about. I think there's a similarity.
Prabhupāda: There is similarity, but one thing is, just like mathematics taught in the lower class. Two plus two equal to four is equally applicable in higher mathematics, two plus two equal to four. In higher mathematics it does not become two plus two equal to five. Similarly, the teachings of Bible or teachings of Bhagavad-gītā are the same, the same "two plus two."
Caller: Right, right...
Prabhupāda: But in the Bhagavad-gītā, it may be taken as higher mathematics. That's all.
Caller: You know, may I ask you one thing, I read some parts of the Bhagavad-gītā is it? And it said that knowledge is enveloped in ignorance, hence all men are deluded.
Prabhupāda: Yes.
Caller: And I thought that was a profound...
Prabhupāda: Real, our real knowledge is covered by delusion.
Caller: Yes.
Prabhupāda: Yes, the real knowledge is that I am spirit.
Caller: Yes.
Prabhupāda: But we are identifying ourself with this body. Therefore we are covered in our knowledge, actual knowledge.
