He emphasizes that one cannot manufacture religious principles through imperfect speculation; instead, one must follow in the footsteps of the twelve mahajanas, including authorities like Brahma, Siva, Narada, and Kapila. Śrīla Prabhupāda clarifies that Kṛṣṇa is accepted as the Supreme Personality of Godhead not on the basis of whim or sentiment, but because His divinity is confirmed by great authorities like Vyasadeva, Asita, and Devala. He warns that in the present day, many apasampradayas mislead people because they lack a link to original authorities like Lord Brahma or the Kumaras. Furthermore, he teaches that subjects beyond material perception, such as the spiritual sky or the nature of the soul, can only be understood by hearing from authorities like Kṛṣṇa and Lord Caitanya. Ultimately, by clearly understanding from authorities like the sage Maitreya and following the principles of the acaryas, the disturbed mind is fixed on the progressive path and the devotee can relish the nectarean relishing of the holy name.</ins></div></td></tr> <tr><td colspan="2" class="diff-side-deleted"></td><td class="diff-marker" data-marker="+"></td><td style="color: #202122;
