Conversations and Morning Walks

1976 Conversations and Morning Walks

Prabhupāda: Bokā-loka means just like a foolish boy. Bokā-loka.

Bhagavān: Childish.

Prabhupāda: Childish, with no sense. Actually that is the fact. All these rascals, they have no sense. Simply they bluff, because they have no real knowledge. Mayayāpahṛta-jñānāḥ. That's a fact. If one, anyone, does not know Kṛṣṇa, then he's a bokā-loka. Immediately take it for granted, bokā-loka. They think that we are very sectarian, but that is the fact.

Bhagavān: Do you have that in English? I gave you in English.

Hari-śauri: Yes, we've got that one. It's in the files.

Jayatīrtha: He's the most popular . . . (indistinct)

Prabhupāda: He has done very good. Actually, what is this? My Guru Maharaja, "He's a bokā-loka." My Guru Maharaja used to say all these men, "All rascals." I was at that time . . . (indistinct) . . . why he says: "Everyone rascals"? He told me, "Rabindranath Tagore and . . . bokā-loka."

Hari-śauri: What's the exact word . . . meaning of that word?

Prabhupāda: Bokā-loka means just like a foolish boy. Bokā-loka.

If one, anyone, does not know Kṛṣṇa, then he's a bokā-loka. Immediately take it for granted, bokā-loka. They think that we are very sectarian, but that is the fact.

Bhagavān: Our philosophy is that everyone else is wrong.

Prabhupāda: May be true to some extent, but they do not know the ultimate truth. That they do not know. Bahūnāṁ janmanām ante jñānavān (BG 7.19). He understands, vāsudevaḥ sarvam iti sa mahātmā. That requires many, many births, to come to that conclusion. Vedaiś ca sarvair aham eva vedyaḥ (BG 15.15). These things are there. Mattaḥ parataraṁ nānyat kiñcid asti dhanañjaya (BG 7.7): "There is no more superior than Me." Ahaṁ sarvasya prabhavo mattaḥ sarvaṁ pravartate (BG 10.8). He explains to everyone, sarva-dharman parityajya mām ekam (BG 18.66). That is the . . . there is the ultimate person. You call Him Kṛṣṇa or something, but you must know Him. Īśvaraḥ paramaḥ, there must be. Father's father's father's father's father's . . . so who is the original father? There must be. Where is the wrong in this statement? So you find out the supreme father but He has no father: He is the Absolute. Sarva-kāraṇa . . . anādir ādiḥ: "He has no beginning, but He is the beginning." Anādir ādir govindaḥ sarva-kāraṇa-kāraṇam (BS 5.1).
