Anyone who is not a devotee of the Lord, he is, his whole life, in trouble. He is, he has no value. When he is condemned so much, duskrtinah, mudhah, naradhama, mayayapahrta, what can he be? So condemned. Most mischievous, a rascal, ass, lowest of the mankind. And so he has passed so many degrees, and mayayapahrta-jnanah — finished. He is so condemned. So anyone who has no knowledge about this Krsna consciousness, we don’t give any position. Any position. It is not possible. Visaje payane jnane. When a man becomes mad, court position, he may be high-court judge, but because he has become mad, he has no position. He’s useless. You may say that he is a high-court judge. Now that’s all right, but in his present position, because he is mad: no value.
