Morning Walk — December 19, 1973, Los Angeles 731219MW-LOS ANGELES [21:26 Minutes] Walk_731219MW-LOS ANGELES Prabhupāda: ...that "Bhagavad-gītā is now old. We require new knowledge." What is your answer? Hṛdayānanda: That Kṛṣṇa is eternal and perfect, and whatever Kṛṣṇa speaks is also eternally perfect.
Prabhupāda: Yes. [break] Śāśvata means eternally fresh. Therefore ignorance is also eternal, because knowledge means absence of ignorance. That is knowledge.
So side by side, two things are there. Now, if you are in ignorance, there is no knowledge. Hṛdayānanda: Nābhāvo vidyate sataḥ.
Prabhupāda: Ah. Nāsato vidyate bhāvaḥ [Bg. 2.16]. It is the negative. Positive side is knowledge.
Darkness. Darkness. Just like where there is no light, there is darkness. Harer nāma harer nāma...
[Cc. Ādi 17.21]. [break] Prajāpati: ...Prabhupāda, we'll be able to see that comet.
Prabhupāda: Yes. Prajāpati: They say one hour before dawn in the eastern horizon. [indistinct aside] [break] ...talking a lot about in..., trusting in God. What is the Sanskrit for trust?
