Oh, yes, certainly. Certainly. Yes. The same thing, just like I have given example several times that pocket dictionary and the big dictionary, both of them are dictionaries. It is not that because it is small pocket dictionary, therefore it is not dictionary. It is also dictionary. So when he's advanced and finished pocket dictionary, he may consult the big dictionary. That is the difference.

Lecture on CC Adi-lila 7.109-114 -- San Francisco, February 20, 1967:

Woman: Uh, does belief in any scripture, or..., any scripture whatsoever, such as the Bible or Koran...?

Prabhupāda: Yes.

Woman: Does belief in any scripture...

Prabhupāda: Oh, yes.

Woman: ...lead to salvation?

Prabhupāda: Oh, yes, certainly. Certainly. Yes. The same thing, just like I have given example several times that pocket dictionary and the big dictionary, both of them are dictionaries. It is not that because it is small pocket dictionary, therefore it is not dictionary. It is also dictionary. So when he's advanced and finished pocket dictionary, he may consult the big dictionary.

All right. Distribute prasādam. (end)
