We are interested in that one meaning which is the essence of the Indian culture. If we are wrong, we are ready to correct ourselves.</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: No... You'll never correct yourself because you do not understand what is Bhagavad-gītā. That is the difficulty. You say that "Nobody understands." You say.</p>
<p>Indian man (3): No, Swamiji...</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: At least you do not understand.</p>
<p>Indian man (3): Please forgive me if I have given a wrong...</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: At least you do not understand. That's all.</p>
<p>Indian man (2): Are we not, potentially, not to understand Bhagavad-gītā, then?</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: Everyone. What is the difficulty? But you understand in a different way. It is simple thing. Everyone understands. This is expected. But you understand in different way. That is difficulty. You create your own meaning.</p>
<p>Indian man (3): I request, Swamiji, on what basis we can say that it is a different meaning or distorted meaning and not the meaning which the Gītā says...?</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: Because you say that nobody knows. You say. And whatever meaning, that is in your mind, but you said nobody knows.</p>
<p>Indian man (5): No, that is quite mistaken talk.</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: That mistake... Then what can I talk? It is mistake.</p>
<p>Indian man (3): I said nobody knows until he knows.</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: So if one does not want to know, how he'll know?</p>
<p>Indian man (5): Whatever Swamiji says, that...</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: Yeah. And Kṛṣṇa says, sarva-dharmān parityajya mām ekam ([[Vanisource:BG 18.66|BG 18.66]]). Why don't you do that? Who has got the...?</p>
<p>Indian man (5): We want to be student. Sarva-dharmān is word.</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: That... That means you become student; hear me and you'll learn it. It is not the one minute's business.</p>
<p>Indian man (5): Somehow you can give some that, advice from you. But whatever...</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: Advice... Well, you come here. Stay here. We shall teach you. Not that you have come here for five minutes—I have to teach you sarva-dharmān...</p>
<p>Indian man (5): No, you don't have time.</p>
