That is the beginning of knowledge. Tad viddhi praṇipātena paripraśnena sevayā ([[Vanisource:BG 4.34|BG 4.34]]). If you want to learn the transcendental subject matter which is beyond the scope of your thinking, feeling and willing... Mental speculation means thinking, feeling and willing, psychology. But subject matter which is beyond your thinking. So God or anything about God is beyond the limit of our thinking, speculation. Therefore, we have to learn it submissively. Tad viddhi praṇipātena, praṇipāta means submission. Prakṛṣṭa-rūpeṇa nipāta. Nipāta means submission. Tad viddhi praṇipātena paripraśnena. First of all find out somebody where you can fully surrender. Then you enquire about transcendental subject matter.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;Just like Arjuna is following strictly. He has first of all submitted to Kṛṣṇa. Śiṣyas te &amp;#039;haṁ śādhi māṁ prapannam: ([[Vanisource:BG 2.7|BG 2.7]]) &amp;quot;My dear Kṛṣṇa, we are talking friendly, so on equal level. So You will speak something, and I shall speak something. In this way we shall simply waste our time, and there will be no conclusion. Therefore, I submit as disciple. Whatever You will say, I will accept.&amp;quot;&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&amp;lt;span class=&amp;quot;link&amp;quot;&amp;gt;[[Vanisource:Room Conversation -- January 27, 1977, Puri|Room Conversation -- January 27, 1977, Puri]]: &amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;&amp;lt;div class=&amp;quot;text&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&amp;lt;p style=&amp;quot;display: inline;&amp;quot;&amp;gt;Prabhupāda: I say &amp;quot;These rascal scientists are brainwashing,&amp;quot; and they say, &amp;quot;These rascal Kṛṣṇaś, they are brainwashing.&amp;quot; (laughs) This is the position. But so far us, we have got some support and we have got authorities, and these rascals, they have no authority. They simply speculate. So even we are rascals, they are... Among these two rascals, we are better rascal, (laughs) not they are better. That&amp;#039;s all.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;Gargamuni: Therefore they need their brain washed.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;Prabhupāda: Yes. But we are convinced that we have got authorities. Kṛṣṇa is the Supreme Personality of Godhead. He cannot cheat me. He is perfect. So whatever knowledge He gives, that is our position, Kṛṣṇa conscious. &amp;quot;Whatever Kṛṣṇa says, that&amp;#039;s all.&amp;quot; And that&amp;#039;s a fact. But they do not take Kṛṣṇa as authority, but another rascal, Dr. Frog, he&amp;#039;s authority. We believe Kṛṣṇa. Mattaḥ parataraṁ nānyat: ([[Vanisource:BG 7.7|BG 7.7]]) &amp;quot;Nobody is better authority than Me.&amp;quot; And we see our gurus, they accept. So we are in safe side. Just like if a child takes information from his guru, mother, he&amp;#039;s safe side. So we are in the safe side. They are not in the safe side. They are hovering, speculation. Speculation is no knowledge. Harāv abhaktasya kuto mahad-guṇā manorathenāsati dhāvato bahiḥ ([[Vanisource:SB 5.18.12|SB 5.18.12]]). And mental speculation means they will remain in ignorance because there is no knowledge. It is simply gymnastic of the mind. It is no knowledge.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
