Prabhupada, Los Angeles, December 16, 1968: […] Take practical example. We are Krishna conscious. Now take any religion and take their highest conclusion—it is there in Krishna consciousness. Take for example Buddhism. They say nonviolence. Oh, we are nonviolent.
Christianism, love of God. Oh, we are simply meant for loving God. Mohammedan, servant of God, to render service to the Lord. Oh, we are twenty-four hours engaged in the service of the Lord. Yogis— samadhi, always in samadhi, absorbed in the thought of the Supreme. We are always absorbed in the thought of Krishna.
So take any religion, any process, any well. This river, Krishna consciousness, will overflood everyone. There cannot be any comparison. What is there? How much water is there in the well? In the river, unlimited. Thousands of wells can be merged into the river. This example is given. Kasmin tu bhagavo vijnate sarvam idam vijnatam bhavati.
If you know Krsna, you know everything. You know science, you know mathematics, you know philosophy, you know geography, everything. There is no dirth of knowledge. Don’t think that a Krishna conscious person actually, he can be a foolish man. No. That is given guarantee in the Bhagavad-gita,
tesam evanukampartham aham ajnana-jam tamah nasayamy atma-bhava-stho jnana-dipena bhasvata [Bg. 10.11]
A devotee who is always in Krishna consciousness, for him there is nothing unknown. He knows everything. Just like we can give information of the whole creation. Not only of this material world, of the spiritual world. Clear conception. Full Lecture
