Prabhupāda: Iti proktam and yad anyathā ajñānam: "Besides this," anyathā, "that is all ajñānam." So we can take perfect knowledge from Kṛṣṇa. There is no difficulty. But we deny, "Why shall I take?" That is our disease. The same thing, "I am also Kṛṣṇa. I can also speak like Kṛṣṇa." This is . . .Indian man: Aham.Prabhupāda: Ahaṅkāra-vimūḍhātmā (BG 3.27). Not only aham. Aham is good. Ahaṁ brahmāsmi, that is good. But ahaṅkāra-vimūḍhātmā, when he becomes rascal by false ahaṅkāra, then it is dangerous. It is dangerous. And that is going on.

And if you can, offer something for His pūjā." Bās. Our mission is completed. Where is the difficulty? There is no difficulty. The words are there. (break) (indistinct) . . . koi bhi jo hai, ye sab chalta hai. Bhagavan hona aajkal toh bara sahaj hogaya . . . (indistinct). (indistinct) . . . this is going on. Everyone . . . it is so easy to become God nowadays. Ahaṅkāra-vimūḍhātmā kartāham iti manyate (BG 3.27).Girirāja: About fifteen more minutes.Prabhupāda: Hmm? So I can go and take my massage now. Toh aap log sab prasad paake jaiyye. Hum thoda snan karne . . . You can kindly proceed for taking prasādam while I go for taking my bath.Indian man: Wardha me jo charcha hua tha wo sab kitaab uske band hogaya. There is a book being written upon the discussion that took place in Wardha.Prabhupāda: Baithiye na, prasad paake jaiyye. Please sit. Take some prasādam.Girirāja: Actually, we could show the book movie. I don't think anyone here has seen it.Prabhupāda: Ah. Yes.Girirāja: (to guests:) I don't think . . . you didn't see that. Okay I'll just get that. It's a very short movie, fifteen minutes. Very inspiring.Indian man: (indistinct) . . . All of us felt very nice coming here today.Prabhupāda: Hum toh chahte the jo Bhagavad-gītā ki charcha thik thik se sab ho. I want that the discussion on Bhagavad-gītā should happen very nicely. The real purport of Bhagavad-gītā is to surrender to Kṛṣṇa. Then it is successful. Aap log agar chahte hai toh, yo sab jagah me acchi tarah se Bhagavad tattva, Gītā ki charcha ho sakti hai. If you want, nice discussion on Bhagavad-gītā can be conducted there instead of people discussing a lot of nonsense.Indian man: Maharaj ji, wo jo meeting rakhi thi Wardha me, usme Bhagavad-gītā ke vishay ki charcha koi nahi rakha tha, jaan bujhke rakha tha. Kyun ki wo toh aap sab log hai itne high level pe kar rahe hai uske charcha karne me wo toh bahut . . . mahatwa ka bara, lekin bahut bara vishay hai. Hum chahte ye the ki jo bare bare aise wakti hai, jo is kaam ko karte hai. Un sab logo ko kam se kam saath me laake baithe. Aur wapas me ek doosre ko pehchane, ek dusre ka kaam ko pehchaane, aur us tarah se wo kaam ko aage kis tarah se, gati me . . . Purpose toh sabka ek hi hai. Mahārāja, the meeting organised in Wardha was purposely not based on Bhagavad-gītā. We know it is important but our aim was to make all the great preachers of Bhagavad-gītā like you to meet in one place and discuss how to progress together. Anyways, all have a common goal.Prabhupāda: Nahi ek nahi hai. Everyone does not have the same goal.Indian man: Purpose toh ek hi hai, tarike alag ho sakte hai. No, the process may be different but the goal is same.Prabhupāda: Nahi nahi, purpose hi alag hai. Yehi toh baat hai. The goal itself is different.Indian man: Jo Gītā ka prachaar karte hai, ye chahte hai toh log Gītā ki baat ko maane, phir uspe chale. All the people who read Gītā and want to follow the instructions given it . . .Prabhupāda: Toh Gita ka baat toh yehi hai, jo Bhagavan khud kar raha hai, sarva-dharmān parityajya mām ekam. Toh kaun Krsna bhakt hota hai? Toh purpose toh alag hai, bilkul alag hai. The instruction of Gītā is what Bhagavān speaks, sarva-dharmān parityajya mām ekam. So who is becoming devotee of Lord Kṛṣṇa? The purpose is completely different. If you take Bhagavad-gītā, the speaker of Bhagavad-gītā says this is the purpose: man-manā bhava mad-bhakto mad-yājī māṁ namaskuru. Sarva-dharmān parityajya mām ekam (BG 18.66). Duṣkṛtino narādhamāḥ. That . . . Na māṁ prapadyante mūḍhā duṣkṛtino narādhamāḥ (BG 7.15). "One who does not do that, he is sinful, duṣkṛtino mūḍhāḥ, and fool, rascal, narādhamāḥ, lowest of the mankind." He is chastising like that. So if you have got other purpose, that means you come to this group: duṣkṛtino mūḍhā narādhamāḥ.Indian man (2): (indistinct) . . . If you consider . . . Ramakrishna Mission.Prabhupāda: Koi bhi . . . (indisitnct), Ramkrishna math ko chor dijiye. Anyone you take. Leave aside Ramakrishna Mission.Indian man (2): (indistinct) . . . Gorakhour aagaye hai. Then there is that person from Gorakhpur.Prabhupāda: Wo toh apna apna mat sab kar sakte hai. Everyone can do whatever they feel like. But why do you take Bhagavad-gītā? You are free to do whatever you like. That freedom is given. Kṛṣṇa has given. Ye yathā māṁ prapadyante (BG 4.11). That you have got. But when you speak of Bhagavad-gītā, then you speak what Kṛṣṇa wants.
