Radhakrishnan is a mundane scholar

The priest continued. ?I have two more questions, Your Grace, and then I?llshoot through. Your Divine Grace, Dr. Radhakrishnan, in his writings, says?inhis interpretation of the Brahma-sutra?that ?God cannot be reduced to athought concept by a process of mantra?. This is my first question, and mysecond question is ??Prabhupada cut him off. ?Yes, but Radhakrishnan is a mundane scholar. He isnot a realised person. He does not know anything.? The audience laughed andapplauded Prabhupada?s boldness. ?So this person is not authorised because heis one of us, he has imperfect senses, cheating propensity, so how he can givethe right knowledge? He does not know anything about Krishna, but he is writinghis commentary on Bhagavad-gita. This is cheating. I am telling you how it is. Inthe ninth chapter of his commentary, when Krishna says: ?man mana bhavamad-bhakta,? he says that it is not to Krishna, but to the inner soul which is withinKrishna that we should surrender. So what can I say? He is such a fool. He doesnot know Krishna, and he is trying to explain Krishna. That is his defect. He doesnot know that Krishna is Absolute. There is no difference between Krishna?s bodyand Krishna?s inside. But he?s thinking Krishna is an ordinary man. Avajananti mammudha manushim tanum asritam.?Because Krishna is coming as a human being, he?s accepting Krishna as a humanbeing, but if Krishna was an ordinary human being, such uncommon things hecould not perform. There are so many wonderful things, it is not possible to beperformed by an ordinary man, so why you should quote Radhakrishnan? Thereare so many acaryas, those who are stalwart, like Ramanuja, Sankaracarya, theyknow such things. What does Radhakrishnan know? He does not know.? Theaudience responded with more enthusiastic laughter.
