Interview with Reporters -- November 10, 1971, New Delhi:

Reporter: Sir, would you like to give any message to the Indian people?

Prabhupāda: Yes. You take... My message is you take Bhagavad-gītā as it is seriously, you will be happy.

Reporter: That's all? Take it as is?

Prabhupāda: Take it AS IT IS. Don't try to interpret foolishly. That is my message.

Reporter: But, sir...

Prabhupāda: So long they are simply foolishly interpreting, therefore they did not get any benefit. But if you take AS IT IS you'll get the benefit.

Reporter: But sir, what are we to do with the (indistinct)?

Prabhupāda: Therefore I say I don't (indistinct) name.

Reporter: Who will name it? Who will (indistinct)?

Prabhupāda: There is no question of bhāṣya. I say take it AS IT IS. Kṛṣṇa says, "I am the Supreme." Gītā gave. Why bhāṣya? Why bhāṣya? They, Kṛṣṇa, in the Bhagavad-gītā it is said, dharma-kṣetre kuru-kṣetre (BG 1.1). Kurukṣetre is still there, you know. There is a station. Why do you interpret in different way?
