We find, in Bhagavad-gita, that the Lord, the entities, manifestation, time and
action are completely explained. Taken together, this complete whole is called the
Absolute Truth, Sri Krsna. The impersonal Brahman is also subordinate to the
Complete Person. It is explicitly explained in the Brahma-sutra as being like the rays
of the sun emanating from the sun disc. Brahman realization of the Absolute Truth
is therefore incomplete. The Supreme Personality is above Brahman. The Supreme
Personality of Godhead is called sac-cid-ananda.

Brahman realization is realization of His sat, or eternal feature. Supersoul
realization is realization of His sac-cid aspect—eternity and knowledge. But,
realization of the Personality of Godhead, Sri Krsna, is realization of all features—
sac-cid-ananda —in full vigraha, or form. The Lord has form. He is a transcendental
person. This is confirmed in all Vedic literature. Just as we are persons, so is the
ultimate truth. Realization of the Supreme Personality of Godhead is realization of
all the features of the Absolute Truth. The complete whole personality must have all
that we see and all that we do not see.

This phenomenal world is complete by itself. The twenty-four elements of which
this manifestation is comprised are complete in this universe. No further outside
energy is needed. When the time is come, the universe will be annihilated by the
complete arrangement of the Complete. Small completes exist in the whole
Complete. Incomplete knowledge results from misunderstanding of the complete
Absolute Truth.

Bhagavad-gita is complete. The Vedic knowledge is infallible. Here is an example of
how the Hindus accept Vedic knowledge as complete: Cow dung is sacred according
to Vedic scripture. If one touches the dung of an animal, he must bathe his whole
body, and yet cow dung can purify an impure place or person, according to Vedic
scripture. This seems contradictory, but because it is a Vedic injunction, we accept
it, and, by that acceptance, we make no mistake. It has been found by modern
chemists that cow dung is a composition of antiseptic properties.

Vedic knowledge is complete, and it is above all doubts or errors. And Bhagavad-
gita is the essence of all Vedic knowledge. Vedic knowledge comes down from higher
sources. It is not like our material independent reserach work, which is imperfect.
We must receive this knowledge from the spiritual master, through the disciplic
succession, which began with the Lord Himself.
