1976 Conversations and Morning Walks

The other day one professor came to see me from Khabudvipa(?). He was very submissive, but still, he would argue like this, that "Whatever Krsna is making me to do, I am doing." So I told him, "Krsna is asking you to surrender. Why don't you surrender?" "No, when He will will, I shall surrender.".

Acyutananda: All I'm saying is... Like what Socrates..., "I only know that I don't know."

Hari-sauri: In other words, he's in ignorance.

Prabhupada: Yes.

Guru-krpa: In other words, he's admitting that he has limited senses.

Prabhupada: So "I don't know" means that you are rascal. So you know. So why you are preaching? You know that you are a rascal. Then why you are preaching? You are teaching.

Acyutananda: They, they showed his picture in the...

Prabhupada: That's all right. He said, "I know. I know that I don't know." So if you don't know, that means you are a rascal. So knowingly that you are a rascal, why you are taking the position of a teacher? That is cheating. You are rascal, cheater. That's all.

Acyutananda: And his picture is..., was with a beer.

Hrdayananda: He wanted to teach everyone...

Acyutananda: Einstein was also a drunkard.

Hrdayananda: He would say, "I have taken this position, teacher, because I want everyone to say, 'I don't know.' "

Acyutananda: So just say, "I don't know."

Hari-sauri: If you don't know, why say anything?

Prabhupada: It is very difficult to deal with these rascals. The other day one professor came to see me from Khabudvipa(?). He was very submissive, but still, he would argue like this, that "Whatever Krsna is making me to do, I am doing." So I told him, "Krsna is asking you to surrender. Why don't you surrender?" "No, when He will will, I shall surrender."

Acyutananda: "He should make me..."

Prabhupada: Yes. Just see.

Acyutananda: There's a story I tell.

Prabhupada: Just see.

Acyutananda: So there was a man. "Oh, when He wills me to surrender, I'll surrender, and..."

Prabhupada: But He is directly saying, "You surrender." Still, He has to will? Just see the argument.

Yasodanandana: He already willed five thousand years ago.
