You take paramparā system, you try to understand Kṛṣṇa as Arjuna has understood. That is bhakti. Otherwise it is . . . (indistinct) . . . there is no meaning. But if anyone has accepted the paramparā system as Arjuna has understood, then he can speak on Bhagavad-gītā. Otherwise he has no right to speak anything. That is paramparā.

Prabhupāda: But All-India Conference, it is not for mass understanding. Kṛṣṇa said yad yad ācarati śreṣṭhaḥ. Śreṣṭhaḥ means the leaders of society, rājarṣayo. Not ordinary persons. Rāja, he must be just like Mahārāja Yudhiṣṭhira, Mahārāja Parīkṣit, Lord Rāmacandra, Mahārāja Ambarīṣa. They are rājarṣi. They are saintly persons, but they are governor. Such persons should understand.

Prabhupāda: We have not seen Kṛṣṇa talking, but the words are there. So Arjuna has accepted Kṛṣṇa as the paraṁ brahma. How we have change of, "Kṛṣṇa is . . ."? So first of all we have to accept by the paramparā system. Sa kāleneha yogo naṣṭaḥ parantapa. "That paramparā is now gone," Kṛṣṇa says. "Therefore I am speaking to you again age-old system." Not that new. Purāṇa. And now you take. How Arjuna is accepting? Arjuna said, sarvam etad ṛtaṁ manye ([[Vanisource:BG 10.14 (1972)|BG 10.14]]) . . . (indistinct Hindi) . . . that is not Bhagavad-gītā understanding. You take paramparā system, you try to understand Kṛṣṇa as Arjuna has understood. That is bhakti. Otherwise it is . . . (indistinct) . . . there is no meaning. But if anyone has accepted the paramparā system as Arjuna has understood, then he can speak on Bhagavad-gītā. Otherwise he has no right to speak anything.

Prabhupāda: But All-India Conference, it is not for mass understanding. Kṛṣṇa said yad yad ācarati śreṣṭhaḥ. Śreṣṭhaḥ means the leaders of society, rājarṣayo. Not ordinary persons. Rāja, he must be just like Mahārāja Yudhiṣṭhira, Mahārāja Parīkṣit, Lord Rāmacandra, Mahārāja Ambarīṣa. They are rājarṣi. They are saintly persons, but they are governor. Such persons should understand. Yad yad ācarati śreṣṭhaḥ tad tad evetaro janaḥ ([[Vanisource:BG 3.21 (1972)|BG 3.21]]). If the śreṣṭha person understands Bhagavad-gītā, it is not for the mass of people, because:

You cannot make a mass meeting and pass resolution and you'll understand Kṛṣṇa. It is not like that.
