Prabhupāda: Just like we have dress. So this dress of sannyāsī is not all. I must be real sannyāsī—in knowledge, in education, in behavior, not that. . . Hitler studies by the dress. That is the foolishness. It is not by the dress, but by the quality. Dress is also required. As I am sannyāsī, I cannot dress otherwise. That is also essential. But if one judges, "Here is a sannyāsī," then he'll misled. That is being done. People are being exploited in the dress of a sannyāsī, although actually he is not sannyāsa. That is also stated in the Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam: "A sannyāsī or a brāhmaṇa will be accepted by the outward feature." If somebody has got a thread only, two paisa–worth, he becomes a brāhmaṇa. And when one takes a daṇḍa, he becomes a sannyāsī. This will be the identification in the Kali-yuga.
Brahmānanda: So the Ramakrishna philosophy. . .
Prabhupāda: Ramakrishna philosophy is nonsense.
Brahmānanda: I know. (laughter) They say it doesn't matter what kind of dress you wear.
Prabhupāda: But "they say. . ." They are rascals. They can say anything. Chagale ki na khaya pagāle ki na bale: "A madman, what does he not say, and a goat, what does he not eat?" (laughter)
Brahmānanda: That's their philosophy.
Prabhupāda: Yes. We have to take philosophy from the ācāryas. Ācāryopāsanam. They are not ācāryas, neither they follow the ācāryas. They do not follow any ācāryas, either Śaṅkarācārya or Madhvācārya, Rāmānujācārya. They have their own philosophy. Ācārya the Ramakrishna, he used to worship Goddess Kālī. But even they do not do that. Eh?
Brahmānanda: No. They don't even have deity worship even to Goddess Kālī. They are so advanced. . .
Prabhupāda: Yes. So where they stand? They have no platform.
Guṇārṇava: What do they do, Śrīla Prabhupāda?
