Theme Analysis
The foundation of Kṛṣṇa consciousness lies in the submissive acceptance of the Supreme Lord's instructions without interpretation or alteration. Śrīla Prabhupāda explains that because human senses are imperfect and prone to illusion, relying on mental speculation leads only to error. True intelligence is demonstrated by surrendering to the Supreme Authority, accepting His words as absolute truth, and repeating them exactly as they are found in the revealed scriptures, just as Arjuna did on the Battlefield of Kurukṣetra.
- The Standard of Discipleship: Arjuna exemplifies the perfect student by accepting Kṛṣṇa's words in full without argument or selective preference.
- The Qualification of a Guru: One becomes a bona fide spiritual master not by inventing novel concepts, but by strictly repeating the message of the Supreme Lord.
- The Path to Perfection: Spiritual success and the return to the spiritual world are guaranteed for those who execute Kṛṣṇa's orders without deviation.
- Rejection of Mental Speculation: Interpreting the scriptures through one's "fertile brain" or mundane logic is condemned as a useless endeavor that obscures the truth.
- The Essence of Vedanta: As the compiler of Vedānta-sūtra, whatever Kṛṣṇa says represents the ultimate conclusion of all Vedic knowledge.
- Explore the synthesized essence of this category in this Vanipedia article: Simply Repeat Whatever Kṛṣṇa Says.
Pages in category "Whatever Krsna Says"
The following 67 pages are in this category, out of 67 total.
A
- Anukulyena. Whatever Krsna orders, if you discharge that, that is bhakti, simply favorable to Krsna. Whatever Krsna says
- Arjuna does not cavil with Krsna but agrees with whatever He says. This is his special qualification, and this is the way of understanding Bhagavad-gita
- Arjuna is not a fool. He said: "Whatever You have said, I accept them as truth." That is real understanding
- Arjuna tells Krsna that he accepts whatever He says to be completely perfect. Sarvam etad rtam manye: I accept everything You say to be true. BG 1972 Introduction
B
- Brahma-sutra-padais caiva. He's (Krsna) recommending. He is Vedanta. Therefore whatever Krsna says, that is the ultimate conclusion of Vedanta
- By your service, Krsna will automatically reveal Himself. He wants service, therefore He said: "Surrender unto Me." not stop all activities. "Surrender unto Me." What He will say, you do. That is surrender
D
- Don't change, don't alter. You simply try to preach what Krsna has said. This is Caitanya Mahaprabhu's instruction
- Don't misinterpret according to your own, I (Prabhupada) mean to say, fertile brain. No. Just hear Krsna, what Krsna says, as it is. Krsna... Don't try to interpret, mal-interpretation
- Don't say that Krsna has only one purpose. That only purpose is that you surrender. Now, when you surrender, whatever Krsna says, you do it
E
- Everyone wants sense gratification, to be servant of the senses. If the senses want "Do this," he will do it. And our Movement is that we shall not hear the dictation of the senses, we shall do what Krsna says. That is just opposite
- Everything is nice. Whatever Krsna says, everything is correct. That is understanding
- Everything is scientific reason, philosophy. But the simple method is so easy to perform that anyone can understand very easily. What is that? Sarva-dharman parityajya... (BG 18.66). What Krsna says, you accept
I
- I say I am foolish man. I have no idea. Whatever Krsna says, that is idea. Just like a child
- If I am servant, then I have to serve. So why shall I serve the senses' dictation? I will serve Krsna, what He says." So he's self-realized immediately, within a second
- If one does whatever Krsna says, his activities are not material. For example, when Arjuna fought in response to the order of Krsna, his activities were not material
- If you have understood Bhagavad-gita, then you should have understood that whatever Krsna has said, that is truth
- Illusioned because you do not know what Krsna says. That is your fault. Krsna says, "You do this," but you do not do that
K
- Krsna conscious means whatever Krsna says, we accept. That's all. That is our philosophy
- Krsna has become very small, and He's giving you chance to serve Him, to dress Him, to wash Him, to offer Him foodstuff, to offer aratrika. Krsna is giving these chances. So whatever Krsna says. He's your guest
- Krsna is person, and whatever He orders, whatever He says, if we carry out faithfully, then our original constitutional position is regained. It can be done very quickly
- Krsna is supreme. There is no doubt about it. Now, whatever Krsna says, it is all right. That's all
- Krsna is the Supreme Personality of Godhead. He cannot cheat me. He is perfect. So whatever knowledge He gives, that is our position, Krsna conscious. "Whatever Krsna says, that's all." And that's a fact
O
- On the Battlefield of Kuruksetra, Arjuna said to Krsna, - Whatever You are saying is all right. I am not this body. I am a soul, and this is also true of everyone else. So when the body is annihilated, the soul will continue to exist
- One who is not a devotee must speak nonsensically because he does not have the power to speak about the glories of Krsna. Thus whatever he says is influenced by the illusory energy and is compared to the croaking of a frog
- Our business is to present Bhagavad-gita as it is. Krsna says, mattah parataram nanyat kincid asti dhananjaya (BG 7.7). We say that, that Krsna is the Supreme Personality of Godhead. What Krsna says Himself, we simply carry the message. That's all
- Our knowledge is parampara. That Krsna says, whatever He says is all right. Krsna is not common man, avajananti mam mudha manusim tanum asritam. He's not man at all He's Supreme Personality of Godhead. Abhijnah. Experience in everything
- Our life should be that whatever Krsna says. That is full surrender. Or His representative says, that is my life
- Our movement's name is Krsna consciousness. Whatever Krsna says, you accept and preach, you become guru
S
- Sarva-dharman parityajya mam ekam saranam vraja (BG 18.66). That is simple truth. Believe in Krsna. That means Supreme Personality of Godhead. Whatever He says is truth. That's all. This is intelligence: "Whatever Krsna says, that is truth."
- So far this Krsna consciousness movement, there is no need of analogy. It is accepted as truth, and Krsna is accepted as the SPG, and whatever He says is truth. There is no mistake, and if we carry that message, there is no mistake
- Spiritual morality means to abide by the order of Krsna. That is morality. Whatever Krsna says, if we accept
- Sraddha-sabde visvasa sudrdha niscaya. This is basic platform, that "What Krsna says, that is truth." Krsna bhakti kaile sarva-karma krta haya: "If I follow Krsna, then my business is complete." This is intelligence
T
- Tapasya means to accept voluntarily something as enjoined in the sastras. Whatever Krsna says, that is sastra
- Tattvatah means in truth, not superficially. If you understand Krsna in truth, as He is speaking Himself about Himself. If you simply accept Krsna, what He says, if you follow, then you become perfect and you become fit for going back to Godhead
- That is Krsna consciousness. His will is supreme. Whatever He says, that's all. As soon as you manufacture, everything is spoiled
- That is my preaching. What Krsna said, you say as it is. Don't change. How you can give interpretation?
- The end of knowledge is to understand Krsna. Krsna therefore says, brahma-sutra-padais caiva. He's recommending. He is Vedanta. Therefore whatever Krsna says, that is the ultimate conclusion of Vedanta
- This is the only qualification, that a preacher should preach only what Krsna has said. That's all. No manufacturing, no concoction. And the audience? They will hear from such person who does not speak anything else except Krsna's teaching. That's all
- This parampara system, that how I become the representative of Krsna, it is not very difficult. Everyone can become a representative of Krsna, provided he exactly presents what Krsna says
- To become representative of Krsna is not very difficult. Simply one has to become very sincere. That's all. That whatever Krsna says, he will say. Just like Arjuna
W
- We are not manufacturing something imaginary. That is not our position. Vasudevoktah. We are simply executing what Vasudeva has spoken. That's all
- We are not manufacturing. I do not say that "I am guru." Our business is to present what Krsna has said. That's all. Therefore I'm guru. Guru is he who speaks Krsna's words. That is guru. And if he manufactures, then he is a cheater
- We have to act to satisfy Krsna. That is bhakti. We cannot make our choice that, "This is good, this is bad." Whatever Krsna says is all right. Then it is bhakti
- We haven't got to take so much trouble or create it by our fertile brain. We are simply repeating what Krsna has said. That's all. And see how it is effective
- We may be imperfect, but Krsna is perfect. Therefore, whatever Krsna says, if we accept it and if we . . . Not accept blindly, but you can employ your logic and argument and try to understand, then your knowledge is perfect
- What I say, you do. Then you'll be happy. What I dictate, you do. But you are dictating Me. Because you are My son, what can I do? All right. Do it
- Whatever Krsna says - whatever God says - should be directly carried out. That is dharma, religion
- Whatever Krsna says about Himself in the Bhagavad-gita, if we accept so much, then we immediately become fit for going back to Godhead, back to home
- Whatever Krsna says or He said 5,000 years ago, we are repeating the same thing. That is called parampara system. Not that "The world has changed. Scientific advancement is very great. Now we can interpret in this way and that way." This is all nonsense
- Whatever Krsna says or what Rama says, that is in terms of the place, in terms of the circumstances, atmosphere, persons, hearer. There is different
- Whatever Krsna says, or He said five thousand years ago, we are repeating the same thing. That is called parampara system
- Whatever Krsna says, sarva-dharman parityajya mam ekam saranam . . . accept it, then sraddha begins. Otherwise there is no sraddha
- Whatever Krsna says, that is standard. All nonsense. Ar na koriho mane asa. Don't accept anything
- Whatever Krsna says, that is Supreme, not a third-class man's version. Is it clear? Yes. We should not take a third-class, fourth-class man's version. We should take from the sastra
- Whatever Krsna says, that is Vedanta. And other so-called Vedantists, they are nonsense. They do not know what is Vedanta
- Whatever Krsna says, we accept it. That is mat-parah. Mat-parah means whatever Krsna says, accept it. That's all
- Whatever Krsna says, we accept. This is Krsna consciousness
- Whatever Krsna says, you do it. That is cooperation. Then it will be successful
Y
- You haven't got to manufacture something by your fertile brain, speculating. That is useless, nonsense. Simply you take what Krsna has said and preach it. You become a guru and you deliver the whole world
- You simply repeat, recite, the instruction of Krsna. That is preaching. That is preaching. And we are doing the same thing. We are doing. We are not introducing any new interpretation. Whatever Krsna has said, bas, finished
