Prabhupada, June 25, 1975, Los Angeles: […] So they must give description of God. If you have seen this rose flower, then you can give a description. If you cannot give a description, then how you have seen rose flower?
Dr. Judah: Yes. Well, they have tried to give descriptions, but, of course, I think all descriptions that have been given of God are, as descriptions are inadequate. Because in my own feeling I believe that the full knowledge of God comes through the actual experience of God, experiencing God in our lives.
Prabhupada: Yes, that experience you can get. Just like God is describing Himself. Now, why don’t you take that? Your description may be defective because you are imperfect.
But if God Himself is giving His, I mean to say, identification, why don’t you take it? Not only gives description, He acts according to the description. When Krishna was present, He says, mattah parataram nanyat [Bg. 7.7], “There is no more superior element.”
He proved it when He was present. There was no more superior power than Him when Krishna was present. In His opulence, in His richness, in His strength, in His education—everything, all topmost, Krishna. All topmost.
The proof is that because you get the topmost knowledge, therefore Bhagavad-gita is read all over the world, accepted, topmost knowledge. All scholars, all philosophers, all religionists, they read it.
