Kṛṣṇa warns those who reject His path. Those who, out of envy, disregard these teachings and do not follow them are to be considered completely deluded and bereft of all real knowledge. They are ‘naṣṭān’, or ruined in their endeavors for human perfection. Envy of the Divine is the root of material bondage. It is the ego saying, “I don’t need a Higher Power, I am my own master.” This attitude closes the door to spiritual help. Without a connection to the Source, the intellect becomes ‘acetasaḥ’, or senseless, and life becomes a futile struggle. Kṛṣṇa is not being angry; He is being realistic. If you ignore the laws of gravity, you will fall. if you ignore the spiritual laws of the universe, you will remain trapped in the cycle of suffering. Rejection of truth is the ultimate self-sabotage.
