most dangerous elements

[Guest guest]

The pseudo religionists have neither knowledge nor detachment from material

affairs, for most of them want to live in the golden shackles of material

bondage under the shadow of philanthropic activities disguised as religious

principles. By a false display of religious sentiments, they present a show

of devotional service while indulging in all sorts of immoral activities. In

this way they pass as spiritual masters and devotees of God. Such violators

of religious principles have no respect for the authoritative acaryas, the

holy teachers in the strict disciplic succession. They ignore the Vedic

injunction acaryopasana -- "One must worship the acarya" -- and Krsna's

statement in the Bhagavad-gita (4.2) evam parampara-praptam, "This supreme

science of God is received through the disciplic succession." Instead, to

mislead the people in general they themselves become so-called acaryas, but

they do not even follow the principles of the acaryas.

 

These rogues are the most dangerous elements in human society. Because there

is no religious government, they escape punishment by the law of the state.

They cannot, however, escape the law of the Supreme, who has clearly

declared in the Bhagavad-gita that envious demons in the garb of religious

propagandists shall be thrown into the darkest regions of hell (Bg.

16.19-20). Sri Isopanisad confirms that these pseudo religionists are

heading toward the most obnoxious place in the universe after the completion

of their spiritual master business, which they conduct simply for sense

gratification.
