Big scholar, Dr. Radhakrishnan, he, while commenting on the verse man-manā bhava mad-bhakto mad-yājī māṁ namaskuru (BG 18.65), he says that it is not to Kṛṣṇa the person. Just see. He's a big scholar.

You cannot enter into the Vedic literature unless you go to the paramparā system. It will remain always blocked. This is one example of a big politician. And big scholar, Dr. Radhakrishnan, he, while commenting on the verse man-manā bhava mad-bhakto mad-yājī māṁ namaskuru (BG 18.65), he says that it is not to Kṛṣṇa the person. Just see. He's a big scholar. He is known as a very big scholar, philosopher—he also does not understand Kṛṣṇa. And Bhagavad-gītā means Kṛṣṇa. Kṛṣṇa is speaking. But these people do not understand what is Kṛṣṇa. Then what will they speak? This is going on all over the world—in the Western world and in the Eastern world. So you cannot understand the Vedic literature unless you understand through the paramparā system. You may be very big man, you may be very big scholar, but the meaning or the purpose of the Bhagavad-gītā will be sealed.

I have given this example: just like you are asking for honey, and I give you a bottle of honey. And you think that "I have now got the honey. Now let me lick up the bottle." So honey is there in his hand, but he does not know how to taste it. He is licking on the bottle. So how he will taste it? So licking of the bottle of honey is not tasting. The contents, the honey, real honey, if it is open, and if you take, then you will get taste. So to whom it is open? It is open to the bona fide disciple by the bona fide spiritual master. Otherwise, you go on for millions of years licking on the honey bottle, you’ll never taste what is honey. This is a good example. Don’t think, "Now I have got the bottle of honey, let me lick it up." So go on for hundreds and thousands of years licking up, but you will never know what is honey. This is the process. It must be opened by the authorized person, and you must really taste it; then you will understand what is honey when you taste it.
