SPECULATION, SPECULATION, SPECULATION. A perfect example of it found in BGAII 2.2 SPECULATION by definition means MISLEADING.

In the Original Transcript or OT, Srila Prabhupada writes the “values of life”. The faithful and honest Hayagriva, however, attempts to improve the expression by writing “the progressive values of live.” Not bad! He understands Srila Prabhupada nicely and does NOT deviate from the meaning with that addition. But the silly, conceited and mischievous Jayadvaita thinks, writes and misleads us into “the value of life.” “The value of life” is not at all equivalent to “the values of live.” What is the value of life??? In some part of the world, life is worth a bullet or a shrapnel. Or in some cannibalistic corners of the world, the value of human life may be expressed in term of KGs of flesh and bones The value of life means the intrinsic value of life, whereas the values of life are the values by which we live and associate. Where is the difficulty to understand this point and surrender to it? Over the years of my association with ISKCON this particular details and others have intrigued and occupied me very much and that is why I am now able to write these few relevant words and lines with certitude. In the old days the word speculation was used a lot and everyone was advised not to speculate. But nowadays I believe the word “speculation” itself has fallen into complete disuse.That means everyone is speculating and that is not wonderful at all if we consider the corrupted state of ISKCON”s official version of Bhagavad-Gita As It Is. Jai Srila Prabhupada!
