The one who is intelligent, he will take this process that, "I have tried my best to become happy, but everything is failure. Now let me surrender to Kṛṣṇa." That's all. And Kṛṣṇa also has said. It is not my manufactured thing, that I am saying everyone is rascal.

Devotee (3): What is the knowledge that Kṛṣṇa revealed to Arjuna? What was that knowledge?

Prabhupāda: Hm?

Madhudviṣa: He asked what is the knowledge that Kṛṣṇa revealed to Arjuna?

Prabhupāda: Yes. Kṛṣṇa asked that, "You rascal, surrender unto Me." (devotees cheer and applaud) You are all rascals; you surrender to Kṛṣṇa. Then your life will be successful. This is the sum and substance of Kṛṣṇa's instruction.

Kṛṣṇa is not asking only Arjuna. He is asking all us, all rascals that, "You are manufacturing so many things for becoming happy. You'll never be happy, rest assured. But surrender to Me, and I will make you happy." This is Kṛṣṇa consciousness, that's all. One line. So the one who is intelligent, he will take this process that, "I have tried my best to become happy, but everything is failure. Now let me surrender to Kṛṣṇa." That's all. And Kṛṣṇa also has said. It is not my manufactured thing, that I am saying everyone is rascal. Kṛṣṇa said,

<div class="quote_verse">
:na māṁ duṣkṛtino mūḍhāḥ
:prapadyante narādhamāḥ

</div>

Mūḍhās, rascals. (laughter) "Those who are rascals, they do not surrender to Me." So our only test is if anyone has not surrendered to Kṛṣṇa, he is rascal number one. Never mind he is M.A., Ph.D., D.A.C. or whatever he may be. But we take him first-class rascal, that's all, because he has not surrendered to Kṛṣṇa. This is the test. We are simple, because we are not very educated; but we take the words of Kṛṣṇa. Kṛṣṇa says that only these classes of men. What? Duṣkṛtinaḥ. Duṣkṛtinaḥ means one who has got merit, but the merit is being engaged for sinful activities. Just like the atomic bomb. One who has manufactured this, he has got merit, certainly, great scientist. But how he has used his merit? To kill men, that's all. "So men are being killed, sir. They are already dying. What you have manufactured?" But, "No, I have got Nobel Prize." "Why?" "I have invented something which will very quickly kill." That's all. Not slowly, but quickly. And he is offered Nobel Prize. You see? He has manufactured something. "Why don't you manufacture something that men will not die? Then I could consider your merit." But no; his merit is utilized for doing something sinful. That is called duṣkṛtinaḥ. These classes of men, they cannot surrender to Kṛṣṇa, because they have to suffer for their sinful activities. So they cannot surrender.
