Prabhupāda: Now, this is understanding of Bhagavad-gītā that, "Whatever You say, I accept as truth." Not that "This portion . . ." Interpretation: "This portion I don't like. This portion is nice." No. Everything is nice. Whatever Kṛṣṇa says, everything is correct. That is understanding.
Dr. Patel:
- sarvam etad ṛtaṁ manye
- yan māṁ vadasi keśava
- na hi te bhagavān vyaktiṁ
- vidur devā na dānavāḥ
- (BG 10.14)
Prabhupāda: Yes.
Dr. Patel: Vyaktim means?
Prabhupāda: Vyaktim means His personality, personality, vyaktim.
Dr. Patel: "Nobody knows Your personality in truth."
Prabhupāda: So foolish people cannot understand what is the Personality of Kṛṣṇa. Yes.
Dr. Patel:
- svayam evātmanātmānaṁ
- vettha tvaṁ puruṣottama
- bhūta-bhāvana bhūteśa
- deva-deva jagat-pate
- (BG 10.15)
Prabhupāda: Yes. "Therefore to understand You is to take information from You, not from others." What Kṛṣṇa says . . .
Dr. Patel: Svayam evātmanātmānam.
Prabhupāda: Yes. Because you know yourself, what you are. Nobody knows. Therefore to understand Kṛṣṇa, or God, is to accept whatever is spoken in the Bhagavad-gītā. That is real understanding.
Dr. Patel: Bhūta-bhāvana bhūteṣa deva-deva jagat-pate.
Prabhupāda: Yes.
Dr. Patel: Vaktum arhasy aśeṣeṇa divyā hy ātma-vibhūtayaḥ (BG 10.16).
Prabhupāda: Deva-deva, "There are many demigods, but You are also . . ."
Dr. Patel: Deva of the devas.
Prabhupāda: Ah. "You are the supreme of all of them, deva-deva. You are worshiped by the devas."
Dr. Patel:
- vaktum arhasy aśeṣeṇa
- divyā hy ātma-vibhūtayaḥ
- yābhir vibhūtibhir lokān
- imāṁs tvaṁ vyāpya tiṣṭhasi
- (BG 10.16)
Prabhupāda: Now, this is to be understood, "How You are all-pervading by Your influence, by Your power." That means "You are always there." "You" person is there. Just like a big man, big businessman, is sitting in his room, but he is all-pervading, all-pervading.
