That means Kṛṣṇa&#039;s līlā in the Kurukṣetra is not very much important for them. But no. Kṛṣṇa&#039;s līlā, either in the Kurukṣetra or in Vṛndāvana, the same thing. We should know. Abhinnatvād nāma-nāminoḥ. So better, first of all, read Bhagavad-gītā, the preliminary study of Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam. Try to read, or try to learn. Of course, in the Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam there is everything. But for ordinary persons, because Bhagavad-gītā is the ABCD of spiritual knowledge... People even commit mistakes in studying the ABCD of spiritual knowledge. People have become so much degraded that they cannot understand even ABCD of spiritual knowledge. They&#039;ll make their own interpretation. Such is the horrible condition. They&#039;ll try to make minus Kṛṣṇa Bhagavad-gītā, go on reading Bhagavad-gītā for millions of years, setting aside Kṛṣṇa. That is scholarly. This is going on. Scholar means they say, openly... I have seen Dr. Radhakrishnan. When he&#039;s explaining man-manā bhava mad-bhakto mad-yājī māṁ namaskuru ([[Vanisource:BG 18.65|BG 18.65]]), he&#039;s saying openly, &quot;It is not to the person Kṛṣṇa.&quot; He&#039;s saying. Just see the attempt. He&#039;s writing comments on Bhagavad-gītā and he&#039;s trying to make Kṛṣṇa away, minus Kṛṣṇa. Simply mental speculation. This is going on. We should be very careful. What is that? Go on. The impersonalists... The impersonalists, they do not know that Kṛṣṇa and Kṛṣṇa&#039;s body, not different. They take it for acceptance that when God, Brahman comes, He accepts a material body. That is Māyāvādī philosophy. Therefore Kṛṣṇa says, avajānanti māṁ mūḍhāḥ mānuṣīṁ tanum āśritāḥ ([[Vanisource:BG 9.11|BG 9.11]]). He comes... Sambhavāmy ātma-māyayā ([[Vanisource:BG 4.6|BG 4.6]]). He comes as He is. Otherwise how He can act so wonderfully? When He was on the lap of His mother, three months old, how He could kill the gigantic demon, Pūtanā? He&#039;s not different from His body. He simply appears according to the necessity. Kṛṣṇa has no such difference, body and soul. He&#039;s full, complete, spiritual. We have got, in this conditional state, soul and body difference. Dehi and deha. Dehino &#039;smin yathā dehe kaumāraṁ yauvanaṁ jarā ([[Vanisource:BG 2.13|BG 2.13]]). So dehāntaraṁ prāptiḥ. Kṛṣṇa hasn&#039;t got to accept another body. So this, these things we should know. Kṛṣṇa is complete, pūrṇa-brahman. There is nothing like material and spiritual in Kṛṣṇa&#039;s body.

&amp;lt;div class=&amp;quot;heading&amp;quot;&amp;gt;There are so-called pseudo devotees. They say, &amp;quot;What we have to do with Bhagavad-gītā?&amp;quot; They think that they are so advanced that they will jump over immediately to the Kṛṣṇa&amp;#039;s rasa-līlā. That means Kṛṣṇa&amp;#039;s līlā in the Kurukṣetra is not very much important for them. But no. Kṛṣṇa&amp;#039;s līlā, either in the Kurukṣetra or in Vṛndāvana, the same thing. We should know.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;/div&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;span class=&amp;quot;link&amp;quot;&amp;gt;[[Vanisource:The Nectar of Devotion -- Vrndavana, October 30, 1972|The Nectar of Devotion -- Vrndavana, October 30, 1972]]: &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;Pradyumna: &amp;quot;The impersonalists sometimes misunderstand devotional service in such a way that they divide Kṛṣṇa from His paraphernalia and pastimes. For example, the Bhagavad-gītā is spoken on the Battlefield of Kurukṣetra, and the impersonalists say that although Kṛṣṇa is of interest, the Battlefield of Kurukṣetra isn&amp;#039;t. The devotees, however, also know that the Battlefield of Kurukṣetra by itself has nothing to do with their business, but in addition they know that &amp;#039;Kṛṣṇa&amp;#039; does not mean just Kṛṣṇa alone. He is always with His associates and paraphernalia.&amp;quot;&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;Prabhupāda: There are so-called pseudo devotees. They say, &amp;quot;What we have to do with Bhagavad-gītā?&amp;quot; They think that they are so advanced that they will jump over immediately to the Kṛṣṇa&amp;#039;s rasa-līlā. That means Kṛṣṇa&amp;#039;s līlā in the Kurukṣetra is not very much important for them. But no. Kṛṣṇa&amp;#039;s līlā, either in the Kurukṣetra or in Vṛndāvana, the same thing. We should know. Abhinnatvād nāma-nāminoḥ. So better, first of all, read Bhagavad-gītā, the preliminary study of Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam. Try to read, or try to learn. Of course, in the Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam there is everything. But for ordinary persons, because Bhagavad-gītā is the ABCD of spiritual knowledge... People even commit mistakes in studying the ABCD of spiritual knowledge. People have become so much degraded that they cannot understand even ABCD of spiritual knowledge. They&amp;#039;ll make their own interpretation. Such is the horrible condition. They&amp;#039;ll try to make minus Kṛṣṇa Bhagavad-gītā, go on reading Bhagavad-gītā for millions of years, setting aside Kṛṣṇa. That is scholarly. This is going on. Scholar means they say, openly... I have seen Dr. Radhakrishnan. When he&amp;#039;s explaining man-manā bhava mad-bhakto mad-yājī māṁ namaskuru ([[Vanisource:BG 18.65|BG 18.65]]), he&amp;#039;s saying openly, &amp;quot;It is not to the person Kṛṣṇa.&amp;quot; He&amp;#039;s saying. Just see the attempt. He&amp;#039;s writing comments on Bhagavad-gītā and he&amp;#039;s trying to make Kṛṣṇa away, minus Kṛṣṇa. Simply mental speculation. This is going on. We should be very careful. What is that? Go on. The impersonalists... The impersonalists, they do not know that Kṛṣṇa and Kṛṣṇa&amp;#039;s body, not different. They take it for acceptance that when God, Brahman comes, He accepts a material body. That is Māyāvādī philosophy. Therefore Kṛṣṇa says, avajānanti māṁ mūḍhāḥ mānuṣīṁ tanum āśritāḥ ([[Vanisource:BG 9.11|BG 9.11]]). He comes... Sambhavāmy ātma-māyayā ([[Vanisource:BG 4.6|BG 4.6]]). He comes as He is. Otherwise how He can act so wonderfully? When He was on the lap of His mother, three months old, how He could kill the gigantic demon, Pūtanā? He&amp;#039;s not different from His body. He simply appears according to the necessity. Kṛṣṇa has no such difference, body and soul. He&amp;#039;s full, complete, spiritual. We have got, in this conditional state, soul and body difference. Dehi and deha. Dehino &amp;#039;smin yathā dehe kaumāraṁ yauvanaṁ jarā ([[Vanisource:BG 2.13|BG 2.13]]). So dehāntaraṁ prāptiḥ. Kṛṣṇa hasn&amp;#039;t got to accept another body. So this, these things we should know. Kṛṣṇa is complete, pūrṇa-brahman. There is nothing like material and spiritual in Kṛṣṇa&amp;#039;s body. Go on.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;/div&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
