To understand Kṛṣṇa is not so easy job. First of all, so many millions and millions of living entities are there. They are not interested. They are just like animals: "Eat, drink, be merry and enjoy." Nobody's interested what is the success of life, siddhi.

Prabhupāda: Yasmin vijñāte sarvam etaṁ vijñātaṁ bhavanti (Muṇḍaka Upaniṣad 1.3). This is also Upaniṣad. Yasmin vijñāte. If you simply understand Kṛṣṇa, then sarvam eva vijñātaṁ bhavanti, then you have got full knowledge. And that is also stated in the Fourth Chapter: janma karma me divyam yo janāti tattvataḥ, tyaktvā dehaṁ punar janma naiti mām eti . . . ([[Vanisource:BG 4.9 (1972)|BG 4.9]]). He becomes immediately liberated. Simply if you understand Kṛṣṇa, what is Kṛṣṇa, tattvataḥ, in truth, then you are . . . your business is finished.

Mr. Sar: Manuṣyāṇāṁ sahasreṣu kaścid yatati siddhaye.

Prabhupāda: Yes.

Mr. Sar: Yatatām api siddhānāṁ kaścin māṁ vetti tattvataḥ ([[Vanisource:BG 7.3 (1972)|BG 7.3]]).

Prabhupāda: Yes. To understand Kṛṣṇa is not so easy job. First of all, so many millions and millions of living entities are there. They are not interested. They are just like animals: "Eat, drink, be merry and enjoy." Nobody's interested what is the success of life, siddhi. They do not know. They think, "If I . . ." Now, especially in this age, if you can eat sumptuously then it is siddhi, all siddhi (laughing). Yes. Udāraṁ bharita, svārtham udāraṁ bharita. That just we see people are so lazy. If they can eat their daily food some way or other, begging, borrowing and stealing, just like animals . . .

Dr. Patel: They have got ūdara-śiṣṇu-parāyanaḥ.

Prabhupāda: Parāyanaḥ. So they think, "Now my day's business is finished. Now I have eaten." And dakṣyaṁ kuṭumba-bharaṇam. And if one man can maintain a family of four, five men, "Oh, he's Mahārāja Dakṣa." Mahārāja Dakṣa, you know? He was a great personality. He was performing yajñas. So this is Kali-yuga. Even they will not be able to maintain a wife, a few children. There is no shelter. I have seen in . . . all these things in Western countries. They have no fixed up. Just like animal. The animal also loitering in the street or in the jungle; they are loitering in a great jungle, a great city, that's all.

Mr. Sar: Yatatām api siddhānāṁ kaścin māṁ vetti tattvataḥ.

Prabhupāda: Yes. Therefore the Māyāvādīs cannot understand. Although they have come to the point of siddha, still they cannot understand. Yatatām api siddhānām. They are siddhas because they have understood that, "I am not this body. Ahaṁ brahmāsmi." This much they have understood. But still they cannot understand Kṛṣṇa. Yatatām api siddhānām. Although they are trying . . .

Dr. Patel: Kaścin māṁ vetti tattvataḥ.

Prabhupāda: Ah, tattvataḥ. They do not know. They say: "Kṛṣṇa is nirākāra." "Kṛṣṇa is nirākāra." "God is nirākāra." "I am as good as God." These theories, encumbrous theories . . . because they do not know yatatām api siddhānām.
