Śrīla Prabhupāda Says

On being qualified to hear

      Our presentation of Krishna Consciousness must be always very bold-if we are king, we must act like king. The idea is if we speak the truth, those will hear who are intended to hear by being qualified or prepared.

     It is not that we should compromise to attract the mass--we are after the class. Still, it was my method to make Krishna Consciousness palatable to you Western boys and girls, how else could I attract you to give up your habits of sense gratification?

     Krishna philosophy can be approached from every angle because it is the Complete Whole, pūrṇam. So if your scientific explanation, beginning from the point that sound vibration is the root cause of everything, and leading to the understanding that Krishna is the Cause of the sound vibration is having good effect, why not continue in this way.

    Only thing is to remain true to the authorities--Krishna, the great saints and acaryas--and everything you say will come out nicely. People are of different natures so we have to use our talents how to convince people in different circumstances, that's all.
