Duty to study the Science of God ISKCON Srila Prabhupada instructs

In a room conversation, Srila Prabhupada
was using an analogy to bring up the point we need to be careful where
we search for truth. There is need for inquiry and research.
There are many sources of light but the
degree of the Supreme Light is incomparable with the light of a glow worm.

Srila Prabhupada: "Yes, that is the Supreme Light.
There are degrees of light.
There is sunlight and there is this light.
You cannot compare this light to the sunlight
(laughing)
Light comes from everywhere.
But that does not mean the sunlight and this light is the same."

Guest: "No, (inaudible word) but when I . . ."


Srila Prabhupada: "First of all you understand this.
Your question was light.
First of all you understand there are degrees.
You cannot say this light and the sunlight is the same."


Guest : ". . but does that mean that those who rise up to the light

by the teachings coming from the Puranas or from the Bible's . . "

Srila Prabhupada: "That is your . . ."

Guest: ". . . natural light . . ."

Srila Prabhupada: "That is your business to study.

(clears throat)
But we give you the idea that light comes from everywhere.
There is one glow worm, that light also light.
And the sunlight also light.
You cannot think that the glow worm's light and sunlight is the same.
Now it is YOUR business to see which is glow worm light and which is sunlight.
That is your business"
