1. Qualification must be seen

    Translator: This gentleman says that real wisdom is not manifested by any exterior show, and that it is interior, and the real sage cannot be seen.

    Prabhupada: Cannot be seen? Then why you are taking education, taking degrees? Why you are appearing for examination in the university for degrees? It…, you cannot be seen? If you are actually qualified in something, it must be manifested. Otherwise, everyone will say that "I am quite qualified, but you cannot see." What is this? How I shall distinguish between the qualified and the nonqualified? The qualification *must* be seen.
