to not believing that they are rascals means rascal

[Guest guest]

Prabhupada: Harav abhaktasya kuto mahad gunah. If one is not Krsna conscious

he has no knowledge. He's a rascal, immediately. Na mam duskrtino mudhah

prapadyante naradhamah. This is the definition given by... If he's not Krsna

conscious, he's immediately miscreant, rascal, and lowest of the mankind.

[break] ...may say that he has passed M.A., Ph.D., D.A.C.(?) and he's a

philosopher. But we..., our test is whether he's God conscious. If not, he's

a rascal. That's all. Immediately.

 

Hari-sauri: No good qualities.

 

Prabhupada: No. Reject immediately.

 

Devotee (2): [break] ...Srila Prabhupada, is that we actually don't believe

that they're fools.

 

Prabhupada: Hm?

 

Devotee (2): I said our difficulty is that we don't actually believe that

they're fools. Most people are thinking that the scientists do have

knowledge. We don't fully believe that they are rascals.

 

Prabhupada: You do not believe because you are also fool, rascal. That means

you're also rascal.

 

Devotee (2): Yes.

 

Prabhupada: So you be intelligent. You're learning from your spiritual

master. ...gurum eva abhigacchet. Therefore one must approach a guru to

learn everything rightly. This is Vedic injunction. Tat tvam purusam eva,

acaryopasanam. Read Bhagavad-gita. Acaryavan puruso veda. Acaryopasanam.

This process of knowledge is to worship acarya. Who's got acarya, he knows.

Acaryavan puruso veda.
