Bhagavad-gita As It Is Lectures

We have to understand Kṛṣṇa in truth. Simply superficially if we understand Kṛṣṇa that, "Kṛṣṇa was born of the father and mother, Devakī and Vasudeva, and He was born in Mathurā and then played with the gopīs. And then the . . . He taught something on the Battlefield of Kurukṣetra," that is not sufficient knowledge. We should try to understand samagram, as far as possible in complete. Then our devotion, our love for Kṛṣṇa, will be increased.

Asaṁśayaṁ samagram. This samagram, this word, is very significant. Samagram means "complete." To understand Kṛṣṇa means to understand the whole cosmic manifestation, God, the material nature, the time factor, the living entities, their respective relationship, everything. That is called samagram. Not that a Kṛṣṇa conscious person does not know about the creation of the material manifestation. He knows, by his reason.

That will be explained in this chapter, Seventh Chapter, how this material creation is going on. The modern scientist, they put up creation that, "There was a chunk, and it was burst into pieces. Then the planetary systems came into existence." But if we inquire, "Wherefrom this chunk comes?" that they cannot answer. Therefore the so-called scientific knowledge always remains in doubt. Darwin's theory . . . there are so many passages: "it may be," "perhaps." So these things, "perhaps," "it may be," that is not certain. Therefore they have now accepted the theory of uncertainty.

But here we . . . if we hear from Kṛṣṇa, then it is perfect knowledge. Samagram. How this material world is created, how this earth, five elements of gross elements, come into existence—everything will be explained. Asaṁśayaṁ samagraṁ mām (BG 7.1). To understand Kṛṣṇa means to understand everything. Therefore tattvam.

manuṣyāṇāṁ sahasreṣu
kaścid yatati siddhaye
yatatām api siddhānāṁ
kaścin māṁ vetti tattvataḥ
(BG 7.3)

We have to understand Kṛṣṇa in truth. Simply superficially if we understand Kṛṣṇa that, "Kṛṣṇa was born of the father and mother, Devakī and Vasudeva, and He was born in Mathurā and then played with the gopīs. And then the . . . He taught something on the Battlefield of Kurukṣetra," that is not sufficient knowledge. We should try to understand samagram, as far as possible in complete. Then our devotion, our love for Kṛṣṇa, will be increased. In the Caitanya-caritāmṛta it is said:

siddhānta baliyā citte nā kara alasa
ihā haite kṛṣṇe lāge sudṛḍha mānasa
(CC Adi 2.117)

Siddhānta, conclusive, conclusive understanding. You should try to understand Kṛṣṇa. Simply by understanding Kṛṣṇa, our life becomes perfect. Janma karma me divyaṁ yo jānāti tattvataḥ, tyaktvā dehaṁ punar janma naiti . . . (BG 4.9). We can become liberated. Therefore Caitanya . . . yes, Kavirāja Gosvāmī recommends that, "Try to understand Kṛṣṇa in truth."
