Right here, right?

Authority descends from the author of all existence.

The connection there being that since Krishna is the author of all existence, since he is

its source, since he is his very conceiver, he becomes authoritative and all other authorities

derive their authority from him, right?

So all of that Dharma, you know, in the Vedic paradigm, it's all kind of laid out very clearly.

In our world, we still respect authority.

And there's a governmental authority.

There's, you know, parental authority. There's, you know, other authorities that, you know, in the workplace and so on. The conception

here is that if we are in the role of an authority of any type, where does my power to dictate

come from? Where does my power to correct or anything that an authority might have the power to do?

Where is that power derived from and what is that authority meant to represent?

It's clarified here.

It goes back to the author.

Authority is derived from the author. And? Authority is derived from the author.

And so Krishna is defined as the author of all existence, and all authority is derived

from him.

Therefore, if there's an authority in one's life that's disconnecting your service from ultimately

flowing towards the divine authority, then they lose their authority.

And we've seen, Bhagatam is going to show, even like in one sense, the most important

authority in the Vedic paradigm is the guru, right?

It's the guru is seen as the representative, right?
