	But if anyone tries to love Kṛṣṇa, understand Kṛṣṇa, He'll give full of intelligence, you can understand. That is Kṛṣṇa. You have got full liberty.

	So we are interested in capturing the original person. (chuckles) We are not interested with any subordinate. ''Govindam adi-puruṣaṁ''. But if one can capture the original person, then he captures everyone. Just like the same example: In the ''Vedas'' it is said . . . in the ''Upaniṣad, yasmin vijṣāte sarvam eva vijṣātaṁ bhavanti'' (''Muṇḍaka Upaniṣad'' 1.3).

	If you can understand the Supreme Personality of Godhead, or the Absolute Truth, then you understand everything. There is no need of understanding separately. ''Yasmin vijṣāte sarvam eva vijṣātaṁ bhavanti''. Similarly, in the ''Bhagavad-gītā'' also, it is said:		If you can understand the Supreme Personality of Godhead, or the Absolute Truth, then you understand everything.

	So do you mean to say that human life is meant like that—like monkeys and hogs and cats and dogs? Is that perfection of human life, to satisfy sense gratification? No. That we have enjoyed in various forms of life. Now, the ''Vedānta'' says, ''athāto brahma jijñāsā''. This life is for inquiring and understanding Brahman. What is that Brahman? ''Īśvaraḥ paramaḥ brahma or parama . . . īśvaraḥ paramaḥ kṛṣṇaḥ'' (Bs. 5.1).		So do you mean to say that human life is meant like that—like monkeys and hogs and cats and dogs?

This life is for inquiring and understanding Brahman. What is that Brahman? ''Īśvaraḥ paramaḥ brahma or parama . . . īśvaraḥ paramaḥ kṛṣṇaḥ'' (Bs. 5.1).

	And Kṛṣṇa is Para-brahma. Brahman, we are all Brahman, but He is Para-brahman, the Supreme Brahman. ''Īśvaraḥ paramaḥ kṛṣṇaḥ''. Just like you are all Americans, but your President Johnson is the supreme American. That is natural. ''Vedas'' says that the supreme of everyone is God. ''Nityo nityānāṁ cetanaś cetanānām'' (''Kaṭha Upaniṣad'' 2.2.13).		And Kṛṣṇa is Para-brahma. Brahman, we are all Brahman, but He is Para-brahman, the Supreme Brahman. ''Īśvaraḥ paramaḥ kṛṣṇaḥ''.

''Nityo nityānāṁ cetanaś cetanānām'' (Kaṭha Upaniṣad 2.2.13).

	Who is God? That He is the most perfect eternal, He is the most perfect living force. That is God.		Who is God? That He is the most perfect eternal, He is the most perfect living force. That is God.

	''Eko bahūnāṁ vidadhāti kāmān. Eko bahūnāṁ vidadhāti kāmān'' (''Kaṭha Upaniṣad'' 2.2.13). The meaning is that one living force is supplying all the demands of all other living entities. Just like in a family the father is supplying the necessities of the wife, the children, the servant, a small family.		''Eko bahūnāṁ vidadhāti kāmān. Eko bahūnāṁ vidadhāti kāmān'' (Kaṭha Upaniṣad 2.2.13). The meaning is that one living force is supplying all the demands of all other living entities. Just like in a family the father is supplying the necessities of the wife, the children, the servant, a small family.

	Similarly, you expand it—the government or the state or the king is supplying the necessities of all the citizens. But everything is incomplete. Everything is incomplete. You can supply your family, you can supply your society, you can supply your country, but you cannot supply everyone.

	The ''Bhagavad-gītā'' is there, the ''Śrīmad-Bhāgavata'' is there. Even you accept, your Bible is there, the Koran is there, everywhere. Without God, there cannot be any book or scripture. Nowadays, of course, they are manufacturing so many things. But in any human society the conception of God is there—according to time, according to the people—but the idea is there. Now you have to understand, ''jijñāsā''.		The ''Bhagavad-gītā'' is there, the ''Śrīmad-Bhāgavata'' is there. Even you accept, your Bible is there, the Koran is there, everywhere.

But in any human society the conception of God is there—according to time, according to the people—but the idea is there. Now you have to understand, ''jijñāsā''.

	Therefore ''Vedānta-sūtra'' says that you try to understand God by inquiry. Inquiry. This inquiry is very important. In our process, ''ādau gurvāśrayaṁ sad-dharma pṛcchāt'' (''Bhakti-rasāmṛta-sindhu'' 1.1.74).		Therefore ''Vedānta-sūtra'' says that you try to understand God by inquiry. Inquiry. This inquiry is very important. In our process, ''ādau gurvāśrayaṁ sad-dharma pṛcchāt'' (Bhakti-rasāmṛta-sindhu 1.1.74).

	One has to accept a bona fide spiritual master and he has to inquire from him, ''sad-dharma pṛcchāt''. Similarly, in the ''Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam'' also says that ''jijñāsuḥ śreya uttamam'': "One who is inquisitive to understand the Absolute Truth, he requires a spiritual master." ''Tasmād guruṁ prapadyeta jijñāsuḥ śreya uttamam'' ([[SB 11.3.21]]).		One has to accept a bona fide spiritual master and he has to inquire from him, ''sad-dharma pṛcchāt''.
