Differences of opinion that are authoritative may differ in details, but never in principles. We won't find anyone who disagrees with the basic principles Prabhupada taught also maintaining a strict and logical adherence to standard Gaudiya Vaisnava siddhanta. I've seen that one who says or implies we can invariably won't even try to substantiate that notion with reference to our books, probably because s/he actually already knows s/he can't. Such people are simply unauthoritative, if not worse. Of course, there's no need to mention any names here. ;-) MDd Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
