Indian man (2): We have been taught like this and, in fact, now we are convinced on that point. We are convinced.
Prabhupāda: No, everyone knows, man-manā bhava mad-bhakto mad-yājī māṁ namaskuru (BG 18.65), sarva-dharmān parityajya mām ekam (BG 18.66). These are open secret. What is the difficulty?
Indian man (3): Differences in meaning...
Prabhupāda: You can take different meaning, but we do not take like that. We take Bhagavad-gītā as it is.
Indian man (4): Swamiji, how do we know that that the meaning is distorted?
Prabhupāda: Eh?
Indian man (4): How do we know that the meaning is distorted?
Prabhupāda: Because you do not worship Kṛṣṇa.
Indian man (4): Swami?
Prabhupāda: Because you do not worship Kṛṣṇa. It is plain fact. But we worship Kṛṣṇa. In every temple, all over the world, 102 temples, we worship Kṛṣṇa. But you don't worship Kṛṣṇa.
Indian man (3): No, we worship all gods, Swamiji, irrespective of...
Prabhupāda: Ah, that means avajānanti māṁ mūḍhā mānuṣīṁ tanum āśritam (BG 9.11), kāmais tais tair hṛta-jñānāḥ yajante anya-devatāḥ (BG 7.20). Hṛta-jñānāḥ, naṣṭa-buddhayaḥ.
Indian man (3): Swamiji, we are interested in...
Indian man (2): I think...
Prabhupāda: Eh?
Indian man (3): Excuse me, Swamiji. We are interested in that one meaning which is the essence of the Indian culture. If we are wrong, we are ready to correct ourselves.
Prabhupāda: No... You'll never correct yourself because you do not understand what is Bhagavad-gītā. That is the difficulty. You say that "Nobody understands." You say.
Indian man (3): No, Swamiji...
Prabhupāda: At least you do not understand.
Indian man (3): Please forgive me if I have given a wrong...
Prabhupāda: At least you do not understand. That's all.
