Explanation also not very much required, because the explanation is already there, and we are not so intelligent that we can explain. But we take it, the words of the Bhagavad-gītā, that Kṛṣṇa says, na māṁ duṣkṛtino mūḍhāḥ prapadyante narādhamāḥ (BG 7.15). If we see that one is not surrendered to Kṛṣṇa, he comes to this group: duṣkṛtina, narādhamāḥ and mūḍha. That's all. This is our conclusion. We are fools and rascal. We take the words of Kṛṣṇa. He cannot surrender to Kṛṣṇa on account of duṣkṛtina. Kṛti means he's doing something meritorious—but for bad purpose, duṣkṛtina. He is taxing his brain to do something, but against the will of Bhagavad-gītā. That is called duṣkṛtina. The purpose of Bhagavad-gītā is to surrender to Kṛṣṇa, or God. But if you are deviating them to become atheists, narādhamāḥ, then what is Bhagavad-gītā preaching? You preach Bhagavad-gītā as it is. So they take the Bhagavad-gītā for serving their purpose. Somebody was telling me that Dr. Radhakrishnan said that, "If you take Bhagavad-gītā as . . . Kṛṣṇa as God . . ." something like that, that they deny that Kṛṣṇa is God. This is Bhagavad-gītā preaching. God is speaking Himself—bhagavān uvāca. Vyasadev itna murkh tha, Krsna uvacha nahi bolte the. Bolta Bhagavān uvāca, aur ye sab bare bare leader bolta hai, jo Krsna ko agar koi Bhagavan bolta hai toh thik nahi hai. Ye scholar hai. Isko humko lena hi padega, scholar bola hai. Ye sab chalta hai. Vyāsadeva was a fool so He directly wrote 'Bhagavān uvāca' instead of writing 'Kṛṣṇa uvāca' and these are big scholars or leaders who deny that Kṛṣṇa is God. This is going on and we are supposed to buy that because they are scholars. Vyāsadeva . . . who can be better scholar than Vyāsadeva? Vidvān. He is recognized vidvān. Veda-vyāsa. All ācāryas accept.
