Guest: (indistinct) . . . The bhakti marg was right now considered as the job of the elders. Prabhupāda: These were the remark. And now we have to establish this, that this is the only way to reach God. You have to become scholar, philosopher, worker, practical behavior. And that is the fact. Otherwise, why Kṛṣṇa says, sarva-dharmān parityajya mām ekaṁ śaraṇam (BG 18.66)? You have to prove it. And Bhāgavata says, dharmaḥ projjhita-kaitavaḥ (SB 1.1.2): "Except surrendering to Kṛṣṇa, anything, that is simply cheating," cheating, kaitavaḥ, cheating religion. This is challenged by God, cheating religion. We have to save people from the cheating type of religion, cheating type of guru, cheating type of dharma. It is so important movement. So this is very good time, this high-court judges. And yesterday also, I blessed before them what, vicāra. You marked? Girirāja: Yes.

Prabhupāda: "Lord Caitanya, during His visit to a temple in South India, found a man scanning the pages of the Bhagavad-gītā without seeming to read the verses, and inquiring, the same found that the person was illiterate, and yet he was turning the pages of the Gītā at the request of his master, because as he did so, he had a vision of Śrī Kṛṣṇa expounding spiritual knowledge to Arjuna on the Kurukṣetra battlefield.

You have seen it?

Śyāmasundara: No. (pause) He doesn't give the receipt number. He says . . . (break)

Prabhupāda: . . . all the educated men. Yad yad ācarati śreṣṭhas tat tad evetaro janaḥ (BG 3.21). If the, who is called, elite society appreciate, then ordinary people will always appreciate. Before my Guru Maharaja, and Bhaktisiddhānta's . . . Bhaktivinoda Ṭhākura, Lord Caitanya's cult was considered by the higher class as it is the business of the low-class men. Even Vivekananda remarked that, "It is the religion of sex." Because they saw that the sahajiyās, they discussed this rāsa-līlā and have illicit connection with woman. So therefore they took it as the religion of sex. Vivekananda. But now . . .

Prabhupāda: Caitanyera dayāra kathā karaha vicāra (CC Adi 8.1). Vicāra means statement. "Just try to understand the mercy of Lord Caitanya, and give your judgement." This is not a sentimental, as people take it as a sentimental. No. Most scientific, logical. So how they like that slides?
