<span class="link">[[Vanisource:Room Conversation With Three College Students -- July 11, 1973, London|Room Conversation With Three College Students -- July 11, 1973, London]]: </span><div class="text"><p style="display: inline;">Prabhupāda: Just see. Immediately he understands Kṛṣṇa. Sarvam etad ṛtaṁ manye: ([[Vanisource:BG 10.14|BG 10.14]]) "Whatever You have spoken, I accept it," Then there is no difficulty. And You are accepted by Devala, Nārada, Vyāsa, and You are speaking Yourself, and later on, all the ācāryas have accepted. Then I'll follow: mahājano yena gataḥ sa panthāḥ ([[Vanisource:CC Madhya 17.186|CC Madhya 17.186]]). I'll have to follow great personalities. The same reason mother says, this gentleman is my father. That's all. Finish business. Where is the necessity of making research? All authorities accept Kṛṣṇa, the Supreme Personality of Godhead. You accept it; then your searching after God is finished. Why should you waste your time?</p>
<p>Student (1): Say we say that Kṛṣṇa is God. Right?</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: Yes.</p>
<p>Student (1): Then do you believe that there are other ways, apart from the way that you're going, to get to Kṛṣṇa?</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: Yoga means to understand Kṛṣṇa.</p>
<p>Student (1): Yeah, right, but I mean practically...</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: So when you understand Kṛṣṇa, then there is no need of yoga.</p>
<p>Student (1): I don't think you could ever understand God.</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: No, if you go to the place... Just like if you go to the airport, then you can understand which airship is starting from which gate, which gate. There are so many things you can see. But if you do not approach the airport, simply in other place, how you can study airport? First of all come to Kṛṣṇa. Then try to understand Kṛṣṇa. And if you understand Kṛṣṇa you become liberated. First of all we have to know that "Here is Kṛṣṇa, the Supreme Personality of Godhead." Then you try to understand. But if you do not approach there, where is your question of understanding Him?</p>
<p>Student (1): Yeah, but somebody else will say, "You come to us, and I'll do this to you, and you'll see God."</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: We do... We are not concerned with "some." We are concerned with the authorities, that's all. Somebody says, "He is not your father." We are not concerned. My mother says, "He is father." That's all.</p>
<p>Student (1): Yeah, but if my mother tells me, I only believe it...</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: Then you are unfortunate. If your mother tells you lies, then you are unfortunate.</p>
<p>Student (1): Yeah, but I only believe her because I give her the authority. You make Bhagavad-gītā your...</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: But generally we have to believe. Generally we have to believe mother; there is no other way. To understand the father, generally you have to accept the statement of mother. If your mother tells you lies, that is misfortune.</p>
<p>Student (1): Yeah, but you're not giving us any sort of answer. You're just sort of saying, "Believe in us, assume that you believe in us." So why don't you give us an answer?</p>
