- We cannot have perfect knowledge by speculating our experience. It is not possible. We must go to a person whose experience is beyond our experience. That is called guru

- We have to accept perfect knowledge which comes down, as is stated in Bhagavad-gita, by the parampara disciplic succession. BG 1972 Introduction
- We have to hear from Bhagavan, not from rascals. Then your knowledge is perfect. If you hear from rascals, then you become rascal

- What you can research? Our fund of knowledge is very, very poor, limited. You cannot have perfect knowledge unless you hear from the authority. So Krsna is the authority

- Whatever we see here, that is the perverted reflection of our eternal relationship with God. So when we come to that I mean platform of understanding, then we are perfectly in knowledge
- When God is speaking that "You take from Me perfect and complete knowledge of God," so why don't you take it

- When perfect knowledge is expanded, one ceases to see the outward covering of the living entity. He sees, rather, the spirit soul within the body
- When perfect knowledge is expanded, one ceases to see the outward covering of the living entity. He sees, rather, the spirit soul within the body. Thus he does not make distinctions between a human being and an animal, a learned brahmana and a candala
- When the living entity perfectly performs spiritual activities under the direction of the spiritual master, he becomes perfect in knowledge and understands that he is not God but a servant of God
- When we come to the supreme spirit, the all-spirit, that is perfection of knowledge. So impersonal conception is simply a negation of the material varieties. But above that, there is spiritual variety & that is real knowledge. That is Krsna consciousness
- When you are in perfect knowledge, you can see God eye to eye just like you are seeing me, I am seeing you. But that requires qualification
- Why should we go to research? Everything is there. Our position is very safe. We get the perfect knowledge without wasting our time. We take from Krsna, that's all. Finish
- Why we accept Vedas as authority? Because there is the perfect knowledge. I have discussed so many times the authority of the Vedas, accepting cow dung as pure although animal stool is impure

- Without Vedic knowledge, or perfect, infallible knowledge, no one can create anything. All scientific knowledge and perfect knowledge are Vedic

- You have to take experience from the perfect person, Krsna. Then your knowledge is perfect. That I have already said. Don't try to understand with your teeny experience everything. Then you will be failure
- You misused the perfect knowledge. Just like here is perfect knowledge: Bible says: "Thou shall not kill." You are misusing - you are killing. That is your fault
- You will find in Srimad-Bhagavatam, each word is transcendental. Each word is full of meaning and transcendental knowledge, because the writer, the composer of this transcendental book, is Vyasadeva. He is perfect, Vedavyasa, perfect in Vedic knowledge
- Your knowledge of the sun is imperfect. So don't teach about the sun unless you have perfect knowledge. That is cheating
- Your senses are imperfect, you are cheating, you are illusioned and you commit mistake. How you can give perfect knowledge? Therefore we don't accept any knowledge from an imperfect personality
- Yudhisthira, after being enlightened by what was spoken by Bhismadeva & Krsna, the infallible, engaged himself in matters of perfect knowledge because all his misgivings were eradicated. Thus he ruled over the earth,seas & was followed by his brothers
