But the rascals will not do that. They will manufacture some meaning. This meaning this, this meaning that, this meaning that. They will not accept Krsna. That is the difficulty. Otherwise there is no difficulty. Even there is difficulty, one can say that "Yes, it is all right. Krsna's instruction is there, Krsna's Deity is there, but still how can I see? How can I understand?" This is obstinate. That Krsna is so kind, "All right, you see Me in the water, come on. Raso 'ham apsu kaunteya prabhasmi sasi-suryayoh [Bg. 7.8]. Why don't you see Me? You are seeing water and why you take water? For satisfying your thirst, and that quality of satisfying your thirst, I am," Krsna says. So if you think of Krsna when you become satisfied by drinking water, if you think of Krsna, you will become one step advanced, immediately. Is that very difficult? Nothing difficult, but we are obstinate, we will not do that. We will not try to understand Krsna, we will not take Krsna's instruction. Why it is so? Maya. Daivi hy esa gunamayi mama maya duratyaya [Bg. 7.14], that is very strong. As soon as I try to accept Krsna as the Supreme Lord, maya will whisper in my ear, "No, no, no. There are many gods, why you are accepting Krsna?" Immediately, "There are many gods, why you are accepting Krsna?" But sastra says, krsnas tu bhagavan svayam [SB 1.3.28], isvarah paramah krsnah [Bs. 5.1]. That we will not hear. I will not take lesson from the sastra, from the acaryas. At least in India we have got big, big acaryas, Ramanujacarya, Madhvacarya, Visnu Svami, even Sankaracarya, even Guru Nanak, they have accepted, all, Krsna as the Supreme Personality of Godhead. Why should we not? Why you? I shall be another competitor to Krsna. This is our misfortune. Therefore Bhagavan said, na mam duskrtino mudhah prapadyante naradhamah [Bg. 7.15]. Because we are sinful, because we are rascals, we do not accept Krsna as the Supreme Personality of Godhead. You are searching after Krsna, making speculation, philosophical. Don't do that. Accept Krsna and be in Krsna consciousness and be happy.
