So Kapiladeva could understand the desire of His mother. The mother was submissive, because to understand the sahkhya-yoga, bhakti-yoga, it requires... The first condition is submission. Tad viddhi pranipatena [Bg 4.34]. You cannot understand the sahkhya-yoga system or bhakti-yoga system by falsely being proud that you are very learned scholar or speculator. These things will not help. You have to hear about Krsna very submissively and accepting, not challenging. Then you will be able to understand. Sthane sthitaḥ sruti-gatam tanu-vah-manobhiḥ. You remain in your position. It doesn't matter what you are; simply you hear about Krsna. There are so many things about Krsna we can hear. Even if we are not educated, we can hear from a person who can speak rightly. But that person must be selected, not ordinary person, not professional person, but here it is said, tattva amnayam. Amnayam means by disciplic succession. (More...)

We have to accept a positive party. Just like in political activities you accept some party, Congress party or this party or that party. That is the system, even in politics.

Similarly, there are four amnaya party. Amnaya means disciplic succession. One party is coming from Lord Brahma, and one party is coming from Laksmi, goddess of fortune, or the consort of Narayana, Visnu. That is called Brahma-sampradaya and the Sri-sampradaya. Sri. Sri means Laksmi. Sri means beauty. Sri means fortune. Therefore, according to Vedic system, the "sri" word is added before anyone's name, sri. So there is Sri-sampradaya, and there is Kumara-sampradaya and there is Rudra-sampradaya. There are four sampradayas of Visnu, er, Vaisnava. So Brahma-sampradaya, Sri-sampradaya, Rudra-sampradaya and Kumara-sampradaya-they are called amnaya. If you want to know the truth, then you have to accept. Tattva amnayam. Tattva amnayam yat pravadanti sahkhyam. This is Sahkhya philosophy. You try to understand the Absolute Truth through the disciplic succession of amnaya. Amnaya. (More...)
