your tiny senses understand the unlimited. It is not possible. Therefore the first recommendation is that jñāne prayāsam udapāsya: don't try to be a dry speculator to understand the ultimate truth.

Caitanya Mahāprabhu discussed about spiritual realization with one of His great devotees called Rāmānanda Rāya. And Rāmaṇanda Rāya placed before Him many theories expounded in the Vedic literature. And at last, when Rāmānanda Rāya placed this verse from Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam, that jñāne prayāsam udapāsya namanta eva . . . foolishly try to speculate to understand the unlimited. It is not possible.

By your tiny senses understand the unlimited. It is not possible. Therefore the first recommendation is that jñāne prayāsam udapāsya: don't try to be a dry speculator to understand the ultimate truth. Namanta: just become meek and humble. Namanta eva san-mukharitāṁ bhavadīya-vārtām. And try to receive the message from authorized sources.

Then sthane sthitaḥ śruti-gatam tanu-van-manobhiḥ: in whatever condition you are, you don't require to change. You simply hear. Then a day will come when you will be able to conquer the Supreme Lord, who is unconquerable. God is great, nobody can conquer, but if you simply follow this process, then—in whatever condition you are, simply try to hear about God from authorized sources—then one day you will be able to conquer God within your hand.

This is also confirmed in the Brahma-saṁhitā:

<div class="quote_verse">
:advaitam acyutam anādim ananta-rūpam
:ādyaṁ purāṇa-puruṣaṁ nava-yauvanaṁ ca
:vedeṣu durlabham adurlabham ātma-bhaktau 
:(Bs. 5.33)
</div>

You cannot find out, simply you find out searching in the Vedas or scripture where is God. You have to conquer Him by your love. He will reveal to yourself. That is also explained in the Bhagavad-gītā:

<div class="quote_verse">
:teṣāṁ satata-yuktānāṁ
:bhajatāṁ prīti-pūrvakam
:buddhi-yogaṁ dadāmi taṁ
:yena mām upayānti te 
:([[Vanisource:BG 10.10 (1972)|BG 10.10]])
</div>

Everything is clearly explained there. Please try to read this Bhagavad-gītā As It Is. It is science of God. You will understand. You will realize. And chant this Hare Kṛṣṇa mantra. This Hare Kṛṣṇa mantra will cleanse your heart. And after cleansing your heart, if you read one chapter of Bhagavad-gītā, you will understand gradually what is God, what you are, what is your relationship with God. And when you understand all these things and you develop your love of God, you'll become perfectly happy.

So we want to see you all happy. That is our program. Sarve sukhino bhavantu. Every one of you become happy. But you must take the path how you can be happy. This is the path, Kṛṣṇa consciousness: Hare Kṛṣṇa, Hare Kṛṣṇa, Kṛṣṇa Kṛṣṇa, Hare Hare/ Hare Rāma, Hare Rāma, Rāma Rāma, Hare Hare.
