All the people are nowadays educated, but all of them, mostly, ninety-nine percent, they're engaged in sinful activities — illicit sex, meat-eating, intoxication, gambling. These are sinful activities and, in spite of advancement of education all over the world, these things are going on. Therefore they cannot understand Krsna. Krsna is understood by a person who is no more engaged in sinful activities.
