They should realize the information, and they must present their assimilation in their own words.

Once one of Krsna’s friends informed Him, “My dear Krsna, if you will open Your mouth I shall give You a nice sugar candy mixed with yogurt.” Krsna immediately opened His mouth, but instead of giving Him sugar candy with yogurt, the friend dropped a flower into His mouth.

Romapada Swami: Is there anything that exists that we can say is ours? We can’t say that the body is ours because it can be taken away. Our mind is not ours because it is not under our control. Our possessions are certainly not ours. Even the soul itself is the property of Krsna. So what can we say is ours?
