We have to go to such mahātmā who knows vāsudevaḥ sarvam iti. Then it will be all right. But if we want to waste time, that is another thing. So I am very glad to see you. So I wish that you may spread real Vedānta. That is essence of Vedas. Vedānta means essence of Vedas. Vedaiś ca sarvair aham eva vedyaḥ (BG 15.15). Light is . . . Of course there is light in the sunshine and there is light in the sun globe, but the source of light is coming from the sun-god. Just like electric bulb, thousand power. So the illumination is also light, and the source of illumination, the bulb, that is also light. And what is that? Filament within? That is also light. But what is the anta light? Not this illumination. Similarly, Kṛṣṇa is the original source of light.

Janmādy asya yataḥ ([[Vanisource:SB 1.1.1|SB 1.1.1]]). Athāto brahma jijñāsā. This is Vedānta. Yes. That is Vedānta, Brahma-sūtra. This is Vedānta. So this life is meant for Vedānta. Athāto brahma jijñāsā. And what is Brahman? Janmādy asya yataḥ. Brahman means the Supreme Soul of everything. And Kṛṣṇa replies, ahaṁ sarvasya prabhavaḥ ([[Vanisource:BG 10.8 (1972)|BG 10.8]]). Then Vedānta starts. I'm inquiring what is the ultimate source of everything, and here is the answer. If you don't believe, that is another thing. You go on talking like anything. That is another thing. But answer is there. Aham ādir hi devānām ([[Vanisource:BG 10.2 (1972)|BG 10.2]]). Ahaṁ sarvasya prabhavo mattaḥ sarvaṁ pravartate ([[Vanisource:BG 10.8 (1972)|BG 10.8]]). Vāsudevaḥ sarvam iti sa mahātmā sudurlabhaḥ ([[Vanisource:BG 7.19 (1972)|BG 7.19]]). So we have to go to such mahātmā who knows vāsudevaḥ sarvam iti. Then it will be all right. But if we want to waste time, that is another thing.

So I am very glad to see you. So I wish that you may spread real Vedānta. That is essence of Vedas. Vedānta means essence of Vedas. Vedaiś ca sarvair aham eva vedyaḥ ([[Vanisource:BG 15.15 (1972)|BG 15.15]]). Light is . . . Of course there is light in the sunshine and there is light in the sun globe, but the source of light is coming from the sun-god. Just like electric bulb, thousand power. So the illumination is also light, and the source of illumination, the bulb, that is also light. And what is that? Filament within? That is also light. But what is the anta light? Not this illumination. Similarly, Kṛṣṇa is the original source of light. Yasya prabhā prabhavataḥ (BS 5.40). It is confirmed in the Brahma-saṁhitā. So Brahman knowledge is partial Kṛṣṇa knowledge. Paramātmā knowledge, partial Kṛṣṇa knowledge. And Kṛṣṇa knowledge is perfect. So partial knowledge is also knowledge, but Vedānta means full knowledge. So unless you come to that point, it is not Vedānta. The another example is just like from a distant place you see one mountain. You'll see just like something cloud. It is not cloud; it is the mountain. But because you are seeing from a distant place you see it is something cloud. If you go little further, you'll see something green, and when you actually go to the mountain you'll find so many trees, so many living entities, so many everything full of varieties. The same mountain, absolute knowledge, advaya-jñāna, tattva-jñāna. If we accept tattva-jñāna from distant place it is Brahman. If you see that tattva-jñāna still nearer, then it is Paramātmā. Īśvaraḥ sarva-bhūtānāṁ hṛd-deśe 'rjuna ([[Vanisource:BG 18.61 (1972)|BG 18.61]]). And when you go directly to the person, just like we are talking face to . . . That is possibility. And that possibility Kṛṣṇa comes to show us.
