4 improvements to the BG 1972 that Srila Prabhupada authorized
------ BG 18.44 --
[Srila Prabhupada Room Conversation, with the Mayor of Evanston, July 4, 1975, Chicago]
[Bg 18.44]
"Farming, cattle raising and business are the qualities..."
Prabhupāda: They are not cattle raising, that was...
Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: Cow protection.
Prabhupāda: Cow protection. It has to be corrected. It is go-rakṣya, go. They take it cattle-raising. I think Hayagrīva has translated like this.
Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: Hayagrīva.
Prabhupāda: No, it is especially mentioned go-rakṣya. Kṛṣi-go-rakṣya-vāṇijyaṁ vaiśya-karma svabhāva-jam [Bg. 18.44]. And then...?

[Srila Prabhupada Room Conversation, August 11, 1973, Paris]
Bhagavān: Śrīla Prabhupāda, the word kṣetrajña...
Prabhupāda: Eh?
Bhagavān: Kṣetrajña, the knower of the body.
Haṁsadūta: Kṣetrajña.
Prabhupāda: Kṣetrajña.
Bhagavān: Kṣetrajña. Is that for one who is differentiating himself from this body? In other words, a person who has realized that there is field and there is knower, is he given that title or is the person who cannot make that distinction, is he also given that title?
Prabhupāda: No. Anyone who knows that... That I have explained. That everyone is sitting on the floor. So everyone knows that he is not floor. He's different from the floor. Is it very difficult?
Bhagavān: No.
Prabhupāda: So this is knower. Similarly by common sense we can understand that we are not this body.
Yogeśvara: It says in the purport: "Now the person who identifies himself with the body is called kṣetrajña, the knower of the field."
Prabhupāda: Eh?
Yogeśvara: In the purport it says: "The body is called kṣetra, or the field of activity for the conditioned soul, and the person who identifies himself with the body is called kṣetra, kṣetrajña, the knower of the field."
Prabhupāda: No, no. It is wrongly written.
Yogeśvara: Ah. It's everyone, everyone.
Prabhupāda: No, no.
Yogeśvara: Not just those people.
Prabhupāda: Identifies with the body. He's not kṣetrajña.
Yogeśvara: He does not know.
Prabhupāda: No. It is wrongly written.
Bhagavān: That was no my question. This was my question.
Prabhupāda: Ah. Oh, it is wrongly written.
Bhagavān: From the lecture, from lecture, when one can...
Prabhupāda: Who does not identify, it should be.
Yogeśvara: Who does not identify. Yes.
Prabhupāda: Oh, it is wrong.
Bhagavān: That's always questioned in Bhagavad-gītā.
Prabhupāda: It is not, has been mis-edited. If you identify with body, how you know it? Oh, it is a very great mistake.
Bhagavān: We can, we can write them, make that correction.
Prabhupāda: Yes. Write immediately. One must know that I am not this body. That is knowledge. That is knower. That is common sense. I say: "It is my body." I don't say: "I body." That I explained. One who does, one who knows that "I am not this body," he's real knower. And one who knows that: "I am this body," he does not know. He's in ignorance. Just like Danielou.
Yogeśvara: A Kṛṣṇa conscious person, he can maintain his position in family, government, business, anything.
Prabhupāda: Why not? All these Pāṇḍavas, they were government men. How they maintained Kṛṣṇa consciousness? Yudhiṣṭhira Mahārāja... They were fighting for political reasons. So they were Kṛṣṇa conscious, fully. [break] ...who identifies with this body, he's described as cow or ass. How he can be knower? It is wrongly edited. The word: "Not". It was edited by whom? Hayagrīva?
Haṁsadūta: Hayagrīva.
Bhagavān: Jayādvaita.
Prabhupāda: Eh? Eh?
Haṁsadūta: Hayagrīva also...
Bhagavān: Hayagrīva and Jayādvaita.
Prabhupāda: This should be corrected immediately.
