40 Krsna Consciousness: the Topmost Yoga System

take to Krsna. No one can know God, but there is this way:
the process of Krsna consciousness.

In the Srimad-Bhagavatam it is stated that no one can con-
quer Him or approach Him, but He becomes conquered. How?
Let people remain in their own positions, but let them give up
nonsense speculation through volumes of books. Thousands of
books are printed and read, and after six months thrown away.
This way and that—how can you know the Supreme by specu-
lation on the information supplied by your blunt senses? Give
up research—throw it away—just become submissive; acknow-
ledge that you are limited and subordinate to material nature
and to God. No one can be equal to or greater than God. So be
submissive. Try to hear about the glories of the Supreme Lord
from authorized sources. Such authority is handed over by
disciplic succession. If we can understand by the same au-
thority as Arjuna, that is real authority. God is always ready to
reveal; you just become Krsna conscious. Follow the path
traversed by the great acaryas, the devoted teachers, and then
everything will be known. Although He is unconquerable and
unknowable, He can be known in your home.

If you take to this process and follow the principles, what
will be the result? As soon as you understand, you will know
that the Supreme Lord is the cause of all causes, but that He is
not caused by any other cause. And He is the master of all
planets. This is not accepting blindly. God has given you the
power of reason, the power of arguing—but don’t argue falsely.
If you want to know the transcendental science you must
surrender. Surrender to authority and know Him by signs.
Don’t surrender to a fool or a rascal. Find one who is coming
in disciplic succession, one who is fully convinced about the
Supreme Absolute Truth. If you find such a person, surrender
and try to please him, serve him and question him. Surrender
unto Him is surrender to God. Question to learn, not to waste
time.
