what is God?
|
So you can call the Supreme Lord "Krsna" or something else. Just like Muhammadans, they say "Allah." Allah means "the Supreme Being." Allahu akbar. And the Christian says, "God is great," and we say, param brahma param dhama [Bg 10.12], or "Krsna, all-attractive." But the aim is to understand Krsna. That Krsna personally appears so that your misgivings, misunderstanding, may be mitigated immediately-"Here I am." The Krsna consciousness movement is for this purpose, that "You religionist, you philosophers, you scientist, you speculators, you are all..., theosophists, so many, you are searching after God, and here is God, Krsna." But they are so unfortunate, they'll not accept it. "No, why shall I accept Krsna as God?" Then why you shall not? That is our question. If you do not accept Krsna as God, then you must know what is God. That, if I ask him, "Do you know what is God?" "That I do not know."
