Prabhupāda: Guidance is (indistinct), then where is different thought? What is that? If the guidance is one, then thought must be on the same relation as different thought.
Śyāmasundara: But he makes this statement that "The difference between God and man can be discerned in that God does not think; He creates. God does not exist; He is eternal. Man thinks..."
Prabhupāda: But He's eternal, He does not exist? What is this? What is that nonsense? He's eternal, He does not exist.
Śyāmasundara: He's thinking that the word "existence" as meaning something that becomes something else-developing, growing, that is existence. And in that sense God is eternal because He does not become anything else, He's always...
Prabhupāda: Then He's perfect. Your existence means you are trying to be perfect. You are making progress from one state to another.
Śyāmasundara: Becoming something else.
Prabhupāda: Yes. So their existence means to..., the process of becoming perfect. Is it?
Śyāmasundara: Yes.
Prabhupāda: Whereas God is already perfect.
Śyāmasundara: Yes. So He does not in the same way exist, but He...
Prabhupāda: So if that is his philosophy, then why not take the direction from God, Bhagavad-gītā? Why you are making experiments from this platform to that platform? Why you are wasting time in that way? If he agrees that God is eternal, existing, perfect, then why don't you take direct from God, or God's representative? Why you are making experiment?
