God's perfect words require no interpretation; imperfect persons must humbly receive divine knowledge without commentary.Listen — Srila Prabhupada Uvaca
Śrī Caitanya-caritāmṛta, Ādi-līlā 7.106–107 — February 17, 1967, San Francisco 670217CC-SAN FRANCISCO [25:36 Minutes] Prabhupāda: ...īśvara-vacana vyāsa-rūpe kaila yāhā śrī-nārāyaṇa [Cc. Ādi 7.106] [The Lord said, ”Vedānta philosophy consists of words spoken by the Supreme Personality of Godhead Nārāyaṇa in the form of Vyāsadeva.] bhrama, pramāda, vipralipsā, karaṇāpāṭava īśvarera vākye nāhi doṣa ei saba [Cc. Ādi 7.107] [The material defects of mistakes, illusions, cheating and sensory inefficiency do not exist in the words of the Supreme Personality of Godhead.] We have been discussing this point, that īśvara-vacana, what is spoken by the Supreme Personality of Godhead, there is no flaw. In our statement, in our writing, because we are conditioned, therefore we have got four kinds of flaws: we are subjected to commit mistakes, we are sometimes illusioned, and sometimes we try to cheat, and always our senses are imperfect. So therefore, whatever knowledge I will present or I will tell you, that is all imperfect. You cannot expect perfect knowledge from imperfect person. Just like a medical man, a doctor, when he's sick, he puts himself under the care of another medical man.
He does not take care of himself, because he's at that time imperfect physician. Because he's diseased, therefore he's imperfect, although he's a physician. But in his diseased condition, he does not take charge of himself. He puts himself in the charge of another medical man.
This is the system. So when rascals and fools think in their imperfect stage as perfect, the whole anomalies of this world begins. The rascals and fools, they do not think themselves that "I am rascal and fool." Just like Caitanya Mahāprabhu presents Himself before His spiritual master... Not He presented—His spiritual master found Him that "You are fool number one." So we should be always prepared to admit our imperfection. But such imperfection is not in..., on the īśvara. Īśvara means controller.
If the controller is imperfect... Suppose a man is in charge, director of such-and-such department, education department, and if he's a fool, then what is the use of keeping such man? Therefore īśvara, those who are controllers, they have no such flaw. That is to be admitted first. They are flawless.
And what to speak of the Parameśvara. There are two kinds of īśvara. Īśvara, you can..., you are also īśvara, but you are now in imperfect stage. When you become perfect, you become īśvara, controller. For example, just like, at the present conditioned stage, we are all controlled by the senses.
So when you at least become the controller of the senses, then you become īśvara. Now we are controlled by the senses, but when you become actually controller of the senses, then you become īśvara. Then there will be less mistake, less illusion, less cheating, and perfection. So the Lord, God... God is out of all these imperfections.
And what are the scriptures? The scriptures are the words of God. In every scripture we'll find, "God said." In Bible it is said, "God said, 'Let there be creation.' " So therefore why God..., we are bringing God for creation? Because that will be perfect.
