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.
Indian man (2): Are we not, potentially, not to understand Bhagavad-gītā, then?
Prabhupāda: Everyone. What is the difficulty? But you understand in a different way. It is simple thing. Everyone understands. This is expected. But you understand in different way. That is difficulty. You create your own meaning.
Indian man (3): I request, Swamiji, on what basis we can say that it is a different meaning or distorted meaning and not the meaning which the Gītā says...?
Prabhupāda: Because you say that nobody knows. You say. And whatever meaning, that is in your mind, but you said nobody knows.
Indian man (5): No, that is quite mistaken talk.
Prabhupāda: That mistake... Then what can I talk? It is mistake.
Indian man (3): I said nobody knows until he knows.
Prabhupāda: So if one does not want to know, how he'll know?
Indian man (5): Whatever Swamiji says, that...
Prabhupāda: Yeah. And Kṛṣṇa says, sarva-dharmān parityajya mām ekam (BG 18.66). Why don't you do that? Who has got the...?
Indian man (5): We want to be student. Sarva-dharmān is word.
Prabhupāda: That... That means you become student; hear me and you'll learn it. It is not the one minute's business.
Indian man (5): Somehow you can give some that, advice from you. But whatever...
Prabhupāda: Advice... Well, you come here. Stay here. We shall teach you. Not that you have come here for five minutes—I have to teach you sarva-dharmān...
Indian man (5): No, you don't have time.
Prabhupāda: No, I have got time. So that's all right. You have to... You have to learn it.
Indian man (3): Swamiji, you bless ourselves in such a way that we will not...
Prabhupāda: You have come. You are welcome here and take the blessings. But you won't come. When I say, "Come here and take the blessings," you won't come. What can I do? If one has fallen in the blind well—"Please get me up! Get me up!"—so I give him a rope: "Yes, catch it. I'll get you..." "No, no, I shall not catch." Without catching, there is no... So if you want to learn, come here. Stay. We shall teach you. That you won't do. Then how can I teach you? You learn from them. Just see these European and Americans, how they are... You have to learn from them by their behavior. These are American boys. Just see how they have tilaka, how they...
