TEXT 32
- ये त्वेतदभ्यसूयन्तो नानुतिष्ठन्ति मे मतम् ।
- सर्वज्ञानविमूढांस्तान्विद्धि नष्टानचेतसः ॥३२॥
- ye tv etad abhyasūyanto
- nānutiṣṭhanti me matam
- sarva-jñāna-vimūḍhāṁs tān
- viddhi naṣṭān acetasaḥ
yethose — those; tuhowever — however; etatthis — this; abhyasūyantaḥout of envy — out of envy; nado not — do not; anutiṣṭhantiregularly perform — regularly perform; meMy — My; mataminjunction — injunction; sarvain all sorts of knowledge-jñānain all sorts of knowledge — in all sorts of knowledge; vimūḍhānperfectly befooled — perfectly befooled; tānthey are — they are; viddhiknow it well — know it well; naṣṭānall ruined — all ruined; acetasaḥwithout Kṛṣṇa consciousness — without Kṛṣṇa consciousness.
But those who, out of envy, disregard these teachings and do not follow them regularly are to be considered bereft of all knowledge, befooled, and ruined in their endeavors for perfection.
The flaw of not being Kṛṣṇa conscious is clearly stated herein. As there is punishment for disobedience to the order of the supreme executive head, so there is certainly punishment for disobedience to the order of the Supreme Personality of Godhead. A disobedient person, however great he may be, is ignorant of his own self, and of the Supreme Brahman, Paramātmā and the Personality of Godhead, due to a vacant heart. Therefore there is no hope of perfection of life for him.
