Acyuta-bhāva-varjitaṁ jñānam amalam. If you go on speculating on knowledge, but if that knowledge is minus Kṛṣṇa, then na śobhate: it will . . . it is not very nice thing because it will not give you the desired result. So Bhāgavata says even a man advanced in knowledge, he cannot get the desired result without acyuta-bhāva. Acyuta-bhāva means . . . acyuta means Kṛṣṇa, and bhāva means His relationship, sentiment. Bhāva actually means sentiment, Kṛṣṇa sentiment. Kṛṣṇa sentiment means Kṛṣṇa consciousness.
Now, if a person in advanced knowledge, he cannot get the desired result, then what to speak of others, who are hovering on these material activities? So material activities, if you want to make success of your any activity, then make it plus Kṛṣṇa, plus Kṛṣṇa consciousness. Then it will be all-perfect. So Kṛṣṇa consciousness does not prohibit anybody to . . . for his particular occupation. They simply ask and request all that you make it plus Kṛṣṇa consciousness. Then your success is guaranteed. If you make it plus Kṛṣṇa consciousness . . . that is required.
Then another quotation is:
- tapasvino dāna-parā yaśasvino
- manasvino mantra-vidaḥ sumaṅgalāḥ
- kṣemaṁ na vindanti vinā yad-arpaṇaṁ
- tasmai subhadra-śravase namo namaḥ
- (SB 2.4.17)
Tapasvinaḥ. There are many ascetics taking severe penance for perfection, tapasvinaḥ. Tapasvino dāna-parā. Dāna-parā means there are many persons who are munificent, making charity, dāna-parā. And yaśasvinaḥ: there are many persons who are very famous. Tapasvino dāna-parā yaśa . . . manasvinaḥ. Manasvinaḥ means mental speculators, philosophers, thinking, high thinker, great thinkers.
So these are worldly great men. Who? One who performs great penance, one who is very charitably disposed, one who is very famous, one who is very mentally advanced, he can think nice things, writes philosophical thesis, write nice poetry. Manasvinaḥ. These are the products of great mind. Manasvino mantra-vidaḥ. Mantra-vidaḥ means the chanters of Vedic hymns.
Mantra-vidaḥ sumaṅgalāḥ. These things are all nice, auspicious. These things are all . . . but kṣemaṁ na vindanti vinā yad-arpaṇam. But these things cannot . . . by these things you cannot alone have success unless it is not offered to the Supreme Lord. Your good qualification should be engaged in the service of the Supreme Lord. Then you get the desired result.
