Real knowledge demands unflinching devotion to Krishna; everything else is useless rascaldom and bondage.Listen — Srila Prabhupada Uvaca
Prabhupāda: ...etad anyathā ajñānam [Bg 13.12]. Find out Bhagavad-gītā. This is knowledge. All other things are bogus.
Otherwise how could we convince big, big scientists? They are not ordinary men, Doctor, that Svarūpa Dāmodara, one of the first-class scientists. He has got very good degree from Calcutta University, from other university, M.Sc. and other. He is very intelligent boy.
He studies science very particularly, means sound knowledge. How he's attached? Jayapatākā: This is real knowledge. Prabhupāda: This is real knowledge. Hmm. Pradyumna: Whole thing read, or just that amānitvam adambhitvam? Prabhupāda: Hmm.
Pradyumna: amānitvam adambhitvam ahiṁsā kṣāntir ārjavam ācāryopāsanaṁ śaucaṁ sthairyam ātma-vinigrahaḥ [Bg 13.8] indriyārtheṣu vairāgyam anahaṅkāra eva ca janma-mṛtyu-jarā-vyādhiduḥkha-doṣānudarśanam [Bg 13.9] asaktir anabhiṣvaṅgaḥ putra-dāra-gṛhādiṣu nityaṁ ca sama-cittatvam iṣṭāniṣṭopapattiṣu [Bg 13.10] mayi cānanya-yogena bhaktir avyabhicāriṇī vivikta-deśa-sevitvam... [Bg 13.11] Prabhupāda: Mayi ca. Simply this qualification will not help. Mayi ca bhaktir avyabhicāriṇī. When it is added with bhakti, then it is perfect.
Mayi ca avyabhicāriṇī. That ca. Ca means "Without this, these are useless." Ca. You must add bhakti also, avyabhicāriṇī-bhakti, unflinching faith and devotional service.
Mayi ca avyabhicāriṇī-bhakti... Pradyumna: Mayi ca ananya-yogena bhaktiḥ... Prabhupāda: Ananya-yoga, ananya-bhakti, pure. Pradyumna: Er, vivikta. Prabhupāda: Vivikta... Pradyumna: Vivikta-deśa-sevitvam aratir jana-saṁsadi [Bg 13.11]. Prabhupāda: Hmm. Not to mix with ordinary men. Aratir jana, general public. Just like this, our place—only devotion.
This is vivikta, aloof from this world. We have no other business except Kṛṣṇa consc..., bhakti. And aratir jana-saṁsadi, no, mean, association with ordinary person. No association.
