So these kind of paṇḍitas will not save you. If you actually want to save yourself from dragging down again to the lower abominable species of life, then you must take to Kṛṣṇa consciousness, bhakti-yoga. Vāsudeve bhagavati. Then you will be enlightened. Vāsudeve bhagavati bhakti-yogaḥ prayojitaḥ, janayaty āśu vairāgyam (SB 1.2.7).

He was actually very learned scholar in Sanskrit and Arabic and Persian language. He was minister in Nawab Hussain Shah's government. So actually people used to address him, "Paṇḍitjī." But he admits that, "These people call me paṇḍita, but I am such a paṇḍita that I do not know what I am. This is my paṇḍita." Grāmya-vyavahāre kaha paṇḍita satya kori māni, āpanāra hitāhita kichui nā jāni ([[Vanisource:CC Madhya 20.100|CC Madhya 20.100]]): "I am such a rascal that I do not know what is the ultimate goal of life, and these rascals address me as paṇḍita. "

So you will find many paṇḍitas like this, many learned scholars. And ask him, "What you are?" He is silent. "Wherefrom you have come?" Silent. "Where you are going?" Silent. "What is God?" Silent. So these kind of paṇḍitas will not save you. If you actually want to save yourself from dragging down again to the lower abominable species of life, then you must take to Kṛṣṇa consciousness, bhakti-yoga. Vāsudeve bhagavati. Then you will be enlightened. Vāsudeve bhagavati bhakti-yogaḥ prayojitaḥ, janayaty āśu vairāgyam ([[Vanisource:SB 1.2.7|SB 1.2.7]]). Because vairāgya means detachment. Detachment. When you understand that, "I do not belong to this establishment," then naturally you will be vairāgya that, "What interest I have got?" The karmīs are very much attached. Karmīs, they are working very hard. They are thinking that, "This material advancement of life will make me happy." But that is not the fact. Therefore they are ajñānī. And the jñānīs, when they are baffled in advancing, or getting peace of mind, or peace by material activities, then they say, brahma satyaṁ jagan mithyā, "This world is false. Brahman is reality." But if he does not engage himself in Brahman activities, then he will also fall, the so-called jñānī.

That has been proved. We have seen so many sannyāsīs. First of all they say: "This is false. The world is false. Let me take sannyāsa." And after remaining a few years of sannyāsa, then he learns how to eat meat, how to drink wine, how to associate with women. Then come. Then he must have some business, that philanthropic work, open some school, open some hospital. Why? If he is full and the whole world is false, why you are interested in opening schools and hospitals and phil . . . (break) . . . to open hospital and open school. No. They are not very much interested. We are interested to open school if there is education for Kṛṣṇa consciousness, as we have opened in Dallas, Texas, small children. That we are interested, because that is Kṛṣṇa. There is Kṛṣṇa. But we are not interested in so-called godless education. That is not our business.
