"You do not know what
is God realization. Then why do you put this
question?"
Guest (3): So, Srila Prabhupada, have you realized
God?
Srila Prabhupada: What do you think? What is your opinion?
Guest (3): I can't say.
Srila Prabhupada: Then if I say, "yes," then what
you will understand? If you are not yourself expert, then even if I say,
"Yes, I am God realized," how you will take it as truth? If you
do not know what is God realization, then how you can ask this question
and how you will be satisfied by the answer? You do not know.
Guest (3): Well, what is God realization?
Srila Prabhupada: Then... Then you were asking, "Are you God
realized?" If I say, "Yes," then how you'll believe it? You
do not know what is God realization. Then why do you put this question?
You do not know yourself. If I say, "Yes," how you'll understand
that I am right? Therefore you should not put all these questions. It has
no value. You do not know yourself what is God realization. Now, just like
a medical man, if he asks another man, medical man, so if he says,
"Yes," then medical man will understand him by technical terms
whether he is medical man. So unless one is medical man, what is the use
of asking another man, "Are you medical man?" Unless you are
prepared to take the answer whatever I give. Are you prepared?
Guest (3): Yes.
Srila Prabhupada: Then it is all right. I am. I am seeing God every
moment. So unless we are prepared to take the answer, we should not put
ourself...
