I
- If one does not understand what Krsna, he is either duskrtina, means sinful; mudha, rascal; naradhama, lowest of the mankind; and mayayapahrta-jnana - and his so-called education and degrees are useless because real knowledge is taken away from him
- If one has studied Veda, but has not understood Krsna, then his labor is useless
- If we listen to Krsna and understand what and who He is, we can actually understand Vedanta. If we do not understand Krsna but advertise ourselves as Vedantists, we are just being illusioned
- If we subtract Krsna, everything is zero. This is a fact, but people are such rascals that they do not understand this fact. But who can deny it
- If you are studying Vedas, if you are Vedantist, then ultimate knowledge will depend how you have understood Krsna. If you do not understand Krsna, what is the use of your studying Vedanta and Vedas? It is useless
- If you do not understand Krsna, then where is your knowledge? Half-way knowledge is not knowledge. It must be complete knowledge

- If you simply study Veda, you will never be able to understand Krsna. Therefore so many so-called Vedantists, they do not know what is Krsna. They consider Krsna as ordinary human being
- In an exalted status of devotional service, a devotee forgets the position of Krsna and intensely loves the SP of Godhead without understanding His position. This is called kevala-bhakti and is distinct from the stages of jnana and jnanamayi bhakti
- Instead of realizing oneself and the Supreme Self, if one derides, doesn't want to understand what is God, what is God consciousness, what is Krsna, he is to be understood as the lowest of the mankind, naradhama. Adhama means lowest
K
- Krsna is so kind that He says, - All right, if you cannot understand Me in this way, just see Me in water. Come on, if you do not understand Me in that way, just see Me in the sunshine
- Krsna is there, and Krsna is explaining Himself, "I am like this." But unfortunately we'll not understand Krsna, but we'll try to speculate what is God. This is our disease
- Krsna is very strict. If anyone wants to forget Him, He will give him so many chances that he will never be able to understand what is Krsna. But Krsna's devotee are more compassionate than Krsna. Therefore they preach KC to the poor people

- Material means when we do not understand Krsna, when we do not appreciate His creative energy or when we are in ignorance. That is called material life
- Mayavadi philosophers, who have a poor fund of knowledge, simply dismiss the subject by explaining that krsna means "black." Not understanding the qualities of Krsna, these atheistic rascals do not accept Him as the Supreme Personality of Godhead
N
- Narada Muni said, "Even by sentiments one gives up his occupational duty, & surrenders to Krsna, even not understanding fully . . ." So sastra says, "What is the loss there?" And if one is performing his material duties very perfectly, then what is gain

- O Lord (Krsna), no one can understand Your transcendental pastimes, which appear to be human and are so misleading. You have no specific object of favor, nor do You have any object of envy. People only imagine that You are partial

- One who does not understand the transcendental nature of the body of Krsna becomes Krsna's enemy and defies or fights with Him. The enemies eventually merge into the Lord's Brahman effulgence
- Our conclusion is that anyone who does not understand Krsna has no good qualifications. Neither is he honest, nor has he knowledge. Therefore he is a third-class man. This is not dogmatism. This is a fact
P
- Para-brahman, Supreme Brahman, is Krsna. So if he does not understand Krsna, then what is the use of his executing this brahmana's duty? That is the verdict of the sastra. Srama eva hi kevalam, simply wasting time
- People are interested only in pictures of Krsna embracing Radharani that depict the dealings of Radha and Krsna to be like those of ordinary boys and girls. They don't understand Krsna. Such obnoxious pictures should be avoided

- People who are not in devotional service can never understand what great value there is in rendering service to the Lord

- The enemies (of Krsna, who does not understand the transcendental nature of the body of Krsna) eventually merge into the Lord's Brahman effulgence. Such mukti or liberation into the Brahman effulgence is never desired by the Lord's devotees
- The feature of svayam-rupa is the form by which Krsna can be understood by one who may not understand His other features. In other words, the form by which Krsna is directly understood is called svayam-rupa, or His personal form
- The foolishness is going on that without understanding Krsna, there are so-called rascal foolish poets. They are describing Krsna's pastimes with Radharani. That is the cause of falldown of the so-called Vaisnavism
- The Mayavadis deride the pastimes of the Supreme Personality of Godhead. Such foolish persons, unable to understand the spiritual activities of the Supreme Lord, consider Krsna a product of this material nature
- The purpose of reading Vedanta means to understand Krsna. So without understanding Krsna, without being trained up how to understand Krsna, if one reads about Krsna's rasa-lila, he'll go to hell
- The Supreme Personality of Godhead, Vasudeva, Krsna, is extremely difficult to understand for unintelligent men who accept Him as impersonal or void, which He is not. The Lord is therefore understood and sung about by pure devotees
- There are many mental speculator, just like Aurobindo Ghosh. So he speculated. He understood that there are activities even after liberation, but he could not understand Krsna, so hard it is

- They (very big men who do not understand Krsna) have their value in their own way, but according to our line of thought, they have no value
U
- Ultimate Absolute Truth is Krsna. That is the verdict of all Vedic literature, Vedanta, and Krsna says that vedais ca sarvair aham eva vedyah (BG 15.15). Anyone who has not understood Krsna, he has not studied the Vedic literature very perfectly
- Unintelligent men who do not understand Krsna are grossly puffed up, thinking that they are liberated or have themselves become Krsna or Narayana. This is ignorance
- Unless we accept this principle that Krsna, or God, has got inconceivable power, acintya-sakti, we cannot understand. If we put Krsna within the jurisdiction of my limited understanding, that is not understanding of Krsna
W
- What is that truth? The truth is that isavasyam (ISO 1), everything is the God's creation. And Krsna, the Supreme Lord says, bhoktaram yajna-tapasam (BG 5.29). He is the proprietor. But we do not understand that truth, that He is the proprietor
