TRANSLATION
But those
who, out of envy, disregard these teachings and do not practice them regularly,
are to be considered bereft of all knowledge, befooled, and doomed to ignorance
and bondage.
PURPORT
The flaw of
not being Krsna 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 the disobedience of the order of the Supreme Personality
of Godhead. A disobedient person, however great he may be, is ignorant
of his own self, of the Supreme Brahman, and Paramatma and the Personality
of Godhead, due to a vacant heart. Therefore there is no hope of perfection
of life for him.
