The problem is that you do not know the language, and those śāstras are not well translated. Translation always loses some original quality; it becomes second-hand. That is why I told you—I think last week—that anyone who would like to study the śāstras and learn Sanskrit, I give them the opportunity to stay twelve years in Jadan to study; it is a twelve-year study. I said last week that anyone who would like to learn śāstra or Sanskrit should learn Sanskrit, and I will allow them twelve years of training. Friend, and then you disappear, saying, "My parents don't like it," or this and that. You need a life to dedicate. But this can only be for those who really want it, not for someone finding an excuse or saying, "My parents don't like it." It is for someone who wants to dedicate his life to it. What is needed for it is your life decision—to dedicate your life. You have many things to do, a hundred things you have to do in a day. Time is very busy. It is not that you don't have even time to die; in India we say two things: "I don't have time even to die," and "I have no money even to buy poison." So does it matter how busy you are? There comes a time you say, "Now I will sleep," and you lie down and you sleep. Likewise, you have so many relations and work and this and that. Everything you said now is finished; I will now go on this path. I tell you, you will become one day a great messenger of wisdom in the world. It was enough; now I dedicate my life to this. And I have to say that one day, if you do this, one day the wealth will become a big TV station. So with all your strong relationships and connections in the world, then one moment you say, "I interrupt everything, and I direct my life only to one." And then I tell you, if you do that, one day you will become a great speaker of wisdom for the whole planet. And they don't continue their study; we call it svādhyāya. Or it develops only intellect, and the devotion, the love, the bhakti slowly, slowly dries up like a river dries up. So where are they who have these decisions? You are very busy, but still you said, "Now I go to sleep." And so you said, "All finished; now I will dedicate myself for the sake of this planet and humanity," and you begin this. I tell you, you will be a very great person in the world as a helper; also, for your ego, it will be also very great. You can decide to dedicate your life to this, and I have to say that you can become a great personality in this world if you do so. Rarely are those who can dedicate their lives to such a relationship. Rarely are those who can say, "I'm tired of all these activities, and now I'm going to sleep; I'm going only in one direction." And if you do that, I tell you again, one day you will really be a great personality on this planet that will help. And that will be good for your ego, but people under 30 years... Thirty; in one week, Kali Yuga went more good back. And others also are welcome. But I can't expect from them. So you have to study Sanskrit and the śāstras, and it is not a joke. If you don't have money, we will find some scholarship or something. But you have to make a commitment for twelve years to stay in India and study, and afterwards you will be Yoga in Daily Life and Mahāprabhujī's messenger who will catch the light in the world. If there is no money, we will try to support him; we will find a scholarship. And this is really a great dedication. I think this study would last for twelve years, and it would be a very great gift for Mahāprabhujī, the person who did this. Half-knowledge is dangerous; half-knowledge is dangerous. I am speaking seriously about studying in Jadan. If you do not have money, we will help you, we will provide you with a scholarship, but it depends on your serious life-long decision. And then you will be Mahāprabhujī's voice of light. Half-knowledge is dangerous.
