Indian man: I was just saying that . . . What he does, each day he takes one śloka, and just goes on giving discourse for an hour or whatever . . . (indistinct) . . . Ten minutes only he speaks after his . . . (indistinct) . . . And then during the each . . . (indistinct) . . . particular śloka or a particular canto. Then he starts speaking, and during the course of an hour . . . (indistinct) . . . he just has his discussion, "Now this canto or śloka, we will take and we will discuss."
Prabhupāda: No, I have read some of his . . .
Indian man: . . . because his Gītā is there, all ślokas are there.
Prabhupāda: He has said somewhere, I don't particularly know, "The Indian priests think like that."
Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: In his Gītā, in the verse that describes how to meditate on the formless, he states that although it says in the Bhagavad-gītā that it is very difficult to understand the formless aspect, he says this was true five thousand years ago, but now it is no longer true.
Prabhupāda: Just see.
Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: I have read in his Gītā.
Indian man: Five thousand years ago it must have been true, but now . . .
Prabhupāda: No, no. There is the verse, kleśo 'dhikataras teṣām avyaktā-sakta-cetasām (BG 12.5). So in explaining that śloka he said, "It was painful five thousand years ago, but it is not now painful. It has become easy." That means the version of Gītā can be changed after five thousand years. Then what is the importance of speaking by Kṛṣṇa if it is changeable like material things? Then what is the authority of Kṛṣṇa? Is it changeable?
