| Prabhupāda: Well, we are speaking of religion. There is no question of "other religion," "your religion," "my religion." We are speaking of God. God is God, just like gold is gold. Because it is in the hand of a Christian, you cannot say that "It is Christian gold." The gold is gold. | | Prabhupāda: Well, we are speaking of religion.

| Prabhupāda: Godlessness is one does not know what is God. And just like you know me, you have come to me. You know I am a person, I am talking, I have written so many books. This is knowing me. Similarly, one must know what is God, what is His feature, what does He do, what does He teach, what law He gives. This is knowing God. Simply to understand, "Oh, well, there is God. Let Him remain at His place, and let me do whatever I like," that is not understanding of God. You must know God just like you must know your father. If you are interested with your father's property, then you must know your father, who is your father. | | Prabhupāda: Godlessness is one does not know what is God.
