 If you want to know me, then you must know about me from me. You can not speculate about me.
[S.P. Room Conversation with Reporter June 4, 1976, Los Angeles]
 
So that means, anyway, if you want to know
about me, then you must know from me.
That is authentic. That is authentic.
[Bhagavad-gita Lecture, 3.17-20, New York, May 27, 1966]
