We are debating here also about material truth aren,t we? The soul has a mind also but a spiritual one. But that,s not the point here, rather that you can use the minds ability to think, to discriminate between matter and spirit. Knowledge related to the soul maybe absolute when it comes from the right source but knowledge related to matter not necesarily, since the nature of matter is that it is relative and undergoes changes. > Cats, dogs, and cockroaches also think.

So would you say that we are debating here about "absolute truth" or relative truth, since it is related to the body and mind and not the soul, who is neither woman nor man, rather female in nature because Krsna is the only man (purusa). > If you or anyone else *really* wants to know the truth, then you had > better ***care what Prabhupada says or didn't say*** because he is the > pure representative of Krsna. Haven't you realized that yet? So in your conception "the pure representative of Krsna" is automatically a perfect scientist, socologist, psychologist and so on, and is complitely expert in all knowledge related to material nature, is it that what you whant to say by "Haven,t you realized that yet?" > Have you read Bhagavad-gita As It Is?

Thats not the definition I found there about a pure representative of Krsna as being perfect also in relation to material (relative) truth rather the Absolute Truth which is Krsna and the soul, if that is what you wanted to know by asking this. > And do you follow the 4 regulative principles and chant at least 16 rounds > of japa daily?

I am just a lowclass fool who has nothing else to do than speculating about the Absolute Truth. yours Harsi das Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
