Prabhupāda: Bhaktyā mām abhijānāti. By bhakti one can understand Kṛṣṇa. Gurukṛpā: Then they say that understanding means to come to understand that Kṛṣṇa is just the Brahman.

Prabhupāda: Eh? Gurukṛpā: That understanding means that Kṛṣṇa's Brahman only.

Prabhupāda: Why? Gurukṛpā: Kṛṣṇa is representative of Brahman.

Prabhupāda: No. Brahman is on the lotus feet of Kṛṣṇa. Brahmaṇo hi pratiṣṭhāham [Bg 14.27]. Why do you go..., deviate from the statement of Bhagavad-gītā?

Anyone who deviates from the statement of Bhagavad-gītā, we take him as mūḍha, rascal. That is our Kṛṣṇa consciousness movement. We don't accept anything else. And we are supported by all the ācāryas.

Prabhupāda: All rascals. They are not ācāryas. Gurukṛpā: Last night this boy sits down and immediately he says, "Well I am a Hindu." I said, "What is this Hindu business? We are not interested in Hindu." Then he said, "Well, you do not know." So "How you can say we do not know?" "Well, I was born a Hindu." So I said, "So how do you know what I was born?

What does that matter, where we were born? That is not... A learned person doesn't speak birth." Representing himself as very advanced or something. "Okay, you become Brahman, but we think that that is hell.
