Limited beings discover truth from higher authority, not through their own investigation or whims.Listen — Srila Prabhupada Uvaca
Morning Walk — December 4, 1973, Los Angeles 731204MW-LOS ANGELES [61:58 Minutes] Walk_731204MW-LOS ANGELES Svarūpa Dāmodara: So at some stage during the lifetime, especially in the human form of life...
Prabhupāda: Yes. Svarūpa Dāmodara: ...one should come to the senses...
Prabhupāda: Yes. That is required. Svarūpa Dāmodara: ...that they are suffering.
Prabhupāda: Not to speak like madman, that you are scientists, you are, "We shall solve all the question." This nonsense thing should stop. They should come to God and understand what God says. Then their life is successful. God Himself is speaking in the Bhagavad-gītā.
Just try to understand. This is not meant for the dogs and cats; this is meant for person like Arjuna—because Bhagavad-gītā was taught to Arjuna—or enlightened, I mean the topmost class of men. They'll understand. Imaṁ rājarṣayo viduḥ.
Evaṁ paramparā prāptam [Bg. 4.2]. So be yourself amongst the topmost intelligent class of men and try to understand Bhagavad-gītā. Then you'll be happy. Devotee (1): Prabhupāda, we should go this way.
Prabhupāda: Yes. But if you want to remain unhappy by your whims, then what... God cannot help you. But you have got the intelli..., independence.
