Guest guest Posted March 29, 2005 Report Share Posted March 29, 2005 Prabhupada: So you take Bhagavad-gita by your own interpretation, and I take Bhagavad-gita as it is. So who is right? Who will decide this? You interpret in your own way. I don't interpret. I take it as it is. Now we are two parties. So who is correct? Amogha: They say because so many others... Prabhupada: No, no, there are two parties. That's all. Others means one who interprets, that is one party. And there is one party who does not interpret. So who is correct? Amogha: They say, "We are right because we are more." They say, "We are many..." Prabhupada: Many asses means there is an opinion? Many asses give some opinion. Is that opinion? Srutakirti: They say so. Amogha: They say we are Ph.D., and there are so many swamis and things like this. Prabhupada: Oh, majority. Srutakirti: Democratic method. Amogha: Majority rules. Ganesa: The result will show. Prabhupada: Yes. That democracy is the ruination of civilization. Amogha: But actually many of them appreciate the actual translation because it's so much more clear. It's just that before, they didn't read it. Many of them, now they are reading it, they appreciate it very much Prabhupada: So we want to remain in the minority. We don't want to be ruled by the majority. Morning Walk -- May 12, 1975, Perth Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
