Mūḍha means one who has no brain. Mūḍha, this word, applies to the ass, because ass has no brain. He works so hard for little grass, which is available everywhere. But still, he thinks that "This washerman is giving me grass." Therefore mūḍha. He'll stand at the door of the washerman whole day, eating little grass, which he can get anywhere. So that is mūḍha. Mūḍhaḥ nābhijānāti mām ebhyaḥ param avyayam (BG 7.13). Bās. And anyone who is a mūḍha, he does not know Kṛṣṇa. So, so long we do not know Kṛṣṇa, we shall remain mūḍha—ass. That's the fact. The whole system is to understand Kṛṣṇa. But one does not know Kṛṣṇa, so he remains mūḍha, and therefore all his attempt is baffled. (Bengali) (break) . . . speaking that "Everyone who is not a kṛṣṇa-bhakta, he's a gādhā.".

Prabhupāda: Enemy must be always dangerous. And Cāṇakya Paṇḍita said that "Don't take enemy leniently. Always think of him as dangerous." If you want to deal with enemy, you should always take him as very dangerous. (aside:) Where is that sweet water? Sweet? That miśri?

Hari-śauri: You want sweet water?

Prabhupāda: Where is that miśri? No, we have to fight. Devise means, ways, how to fight. That's all. But try to prove that they have no brain. Actually that is the fact. Nobody has brain, especially in this age. Na māṁ duṣkṛtino mūḍhāḥ ([[Vanisource:BG 7.15 (1972)|BG 7.15]]). Mūḍha means one who has no brain. Mūḍha, this word, applies to the ass, because ass has no brain. He works so hard for little grass, which is available everywhere. But still, he thinks that "This washerman is giving me grass." Therefore mūḍha. He'll stand at the door of the washerman whole day, eating little grass, which he can get anywhere. So that is mūḍha. Mūḍhaḥ nābhijānāti mām ebhyaḥ param avyayam ([[Vanisource:BG 7.13 (1972)|BG 7.13]]). Bās. And anyone who is a mūḍha, he does not know Kṛṣṇa. So, so long we do not know Kṛṣṇa, we shall remain mūḍha—ass. That's the fact. The whole system is to understand Kṛṣṇa. But one does not know Kṛṣṇa, so he remains mūḍha, and therefore all his attempt is baffled. (Bengali) (break) . . . speaking that "Everyone who is not a kṛṣṇa-bhakta, he's a gādhā." Do you believe in this or not, first of all? Unless you are firmly convinced, you cannot say strongly. (Bengali) Kṛṣṇa-bhakta naya ei sei gādhā. (Bengali) Na māṁ duṣkṛtino mūḍhāḥ prapadyante narādhamāḥ ([[Vanisource:BG 7.15 (1972)|BG 7.15]]). (Bengali) Māyayāpahṛta-jñānāḥ (break) . . . must be intelligent. Otherwise how can I say that you are rascal if I am in the same category? So that I was explaining in the morning: "Where is your brain?" And mūḍha is one who has no brain. (Bengali) (break) Wherefrom consciousness comes? Where is consciousness? What is that consciousness? You have to explain. Otherwise . . .

Indian man (1): However nicely we may decorate a dead body, it has no consciousness.

Prabhupāda: That is good, but why you stress on Kṛṣṇa conscious? Everyone is conscious. Even an ant is conscious. Therefore I say, first of all you be convinced; then you say. Otherwise it will be ludicrous.
