Right. Krishna says black is white... OK, I don't have a >: problem with that. ;) >But isn't Krishna blue? :) Yes. Krishna is blue. You can a picture of Him at /sudarsana/wkrishna But the idea is if we can find someone who has perfect knowledge then the best way to get knowledge is to hear it from Him... If you want to find someone's telephone number you could develop an elaborate "scientific" method to do it. You could call numbers at random on your phone and ask the people who answered where they lived. Eventually [after a few thousand calls] you would get a rough idea of the distribution of the telephone numbers throughout the city. Then you could narrow down your search to the numbers around the area of your friend's house... Then after many thousands more calls you may be able to talk to your friend... That is the ascending process of gaining knowledge, the scientific method. However there is a much better process, the descending process, accepting the knowledge from an authority, from someone who knows. You could call the operator or look in the telephone book and find the number immediately... Thank you. Hare Krishna!
