Prabhupada, Honolulu, May 21, 1976:..Just like we ask every day, “Who is the proprietor of the sea?” They do not know. Theories. But Krishna said, “I am the proprietor,” sarva-loka-mahesvaram, “not only of this sea.” This Pacific Ocean is only one, insignificant.
There are millions of Pacific Ocean flying in the sky. So who is the proprietor? Sarva-loka- mahesvaram. Krishna says, “I am.” You are not proprietor. There must be some proprietor. So who is that proprietor?
Krishna says, “I am the proprietor.” You have to know it, whether Krishna is not proprietor. He says, “I am proprietor,” but if you are doubtful, prove that He is not proprietor. But that you cannot do. Or bring another person who can claim like that, that “I am the proprietor.”
Therefore you have to accept Krishna as the proprietor. And it is accepted by all great personalities. Vyasadeva, Narada, Asita, Devala, all the acaryas, Nimbarka, then Madhvacarya, Ramanujacarya, and our worshipable Deity, Caitanya Mahaprabhu. Everyone has accepted. So unless we are grand fool, we can’t deny this. It is not possible. Evam parampara-praptam. We have to take knowledge by the disciplic succession. Full Lecture
