Prabhupāda: How to spread this Kṛṣṇa consciousness movement? First of all you have to undergo the austerities. You must be purified, tapasā brahmacaryeṇa śamena. Then you have to engage your body, intelligence and words for spreading the Kṛṣṇa consciousness all over the world. Dhīrā. Dharmajñāḥ. Dharmajñāḥ means one who is in knowledge of dharma, real religion. Dharma, adharma. So, dharma, real dharma, means to abide by the orders of God. But they do not know what is God. They do not know what is the order of God. Of course, there are scriptures, but we have to know. Dharmajñāḥ means to know, just like good citizen means he knows what are the laws of the state. That is good citizen. If you know the laws of the state and you do not drive your car against the order of the state—either is left or as is, somewhere it is left, somewhere it is right. Anyway . . . what is this in this country? Left or right? Left?
Devotee: Left.
Prabhupāda: Left. So if you know the laws of the state, then you cannot drive your car on the right side. Similarly, dharmajñāḥ means one should know what is the order of God. That is dharma. But they do not know what is God. They do not believe in God, and what to speak about His order and law. This is the position. They do not know what is God. "God is zero, therefore His order is zero. I can do anything and everything." This is going on. But real dharmajñāḥ means one who knows what is religious principles. Dharmaṁ tu sākṣād bhagavat-praṇītam (SB 6.3.19). Dharma means the orders given by God.
So one must know what is God; then one must know what is order. But there is. Just like Kṛṣṇa: Kṛṣṇa is accepted God by all the Vedic followers. In India there are ācāryas, ācārya-upāsanam: Rāmānuja Ācārya, Madhvācārya, Śaṅkarācārya, Nimbārditya. There are so many. There are different ācāryas, they are preaching about God, and they have accepted Kṛṣṇa as the Supreme Personality of Godhead, all of them. Indian Vedic civilization is guided by the ācāryas, not by the rascals and fools. ācāryas. Anyone who is not under the guidance of this ācārya, he is not accepted as bona fide follower of Veda. You cannot create.
