Prabhupāda: Vedas.

Amogha: Vedas.

Kim Cornish: Oh, Vedas, yes.

Prabhupāda: The Vedas are there for understanding by the human society. And if he lives like a cat and dog, then he's spoiling his life. We should take advantage of the Vedic knowledge and make our life successful. This is real philosophy.

Kim Cornish: I'm not very familiar with the Hindu scriptures, but I have read some Upaniṣads, and there's the idea that somehow ātman is Brahman. I don't understand this at all, so perhaps you could say something about that?

Prabhupāda: Which Upaniṣad are you reading?

Kim Cornish: I've read the Chāndogya, the . . . Brhadāraṇyaka . . .

Prabhupāda: There are one hundred and eight Upaniṣads.

Kim Cornish: I don't know the pronunciations, that's the difficulty.

Prabhupāda: Have you read Īśopaniṣad?

Kim Cornish: Pardon?

Prabhupāda: Īśopaniṣad.

Kim Cornish: I'm familiar with the name, but that's about all.

Prabhupāda: Give him Īśopaniṣad. Read from the beginning.

Amogha: Invocation. I'll show you.

Prabhupāda: Have you read this book? This is the first Upaniṣad that is read. Can you read Sanskrit?

Kim Cornish: No. I'm afraid not.
