- sarva-dharmān parityajya
- mām ekaṁ śaraṇaṁ vraja
- ahaṁ tvāṁ sarva-pāpebhyo
- mokṣayiṣyāmi mā śucaḥ

Man-manā bhava mad-bhakto mad-yājī māṁ namaskuru (BG 18.65). These are the statement. Mām eva ye prapadyante māyām etāṁ taranti te (BG 7.14). You have been captured by māyā. You have forgotten Kṛṣṇa. Just try to surrender unto Me. This is the teachings of Lord Caitanya. And they are accepting it, these Western outsiders, because they have no hodgepodge in their mind, you see. They have cleansed. So I have said that kṛṣṇas tu bhagavān svayam (SB 1.3.28), that, and they are getting the result. Chant Kṛṣṇa's name. Kṛṣṇa and Kṛṣṇa's name, nondifferent . . . (indistinct) . . . nāma nāmāni. There is no difference. Kṛṣṇa is the Absolute. Kṛṣṇa, Kṛṣṇa's name, Kṛṣṇa's quality, Kṛṣṇa's form, Kṛṣṇa's entourage, they're all the same. Anything in relationship with Kṛṣṇa is Kṛṣṇa. That is absolute knowledge.
So it has become easier for them, because they are accepting as they are stated in the śāstra. If we neglect the śāstra-vidhi, yaḥ śāstra-vidhim utsṛjya vartate kāma-kārataḥ, na siddhim sa va (BG 16.23). So the defect at the present moment: that we are manufacturing our own, own concoctions. This should be stopped. You take as it is stated in the śāstra. Kṛṣṇa says that, "I am the Supreme," mattaḥ parataraṁ nānyat kiñcid asti dhanañjaya (BG 7.7).
